We are selling our home in Whitland. Will the lawyer have to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Whitland and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitland. We have lived in Whitland for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Whitland. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Whitland with a loan from Virgin Money. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it will impact my loan with Virgin Money. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Why can I not complete our conveyancing in Whitland on Good Friday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money will pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only occur on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
