I am not in a position to travel far from Rudry. I would like to know the logic why all Rudry solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most banks exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Consequently, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms about their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Rudry. The Rudry property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause primarily exists to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
Is it the case that all Rudry conveyancing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the CLC.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Rudry off the council. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Rudry?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Rudry will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Rudry.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Rudry it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Rudry commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Rudry.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
