My wife and I are buying a property in Ystrad Mynach. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Ystrad Mynach solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
I'm spending time looking at flats in Ystrad Mynach and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Principality.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Principality, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

How does conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ystrad Mynach approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Ystrad Mynach tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach or who has acted in the same development.

If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that must outweigh using an unknown Ystrad Mynach conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
