It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Ammanford. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Ammanford relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My husband and I intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Ammanford with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We like our Ammanford conveyancing practitioner but Barclays advised that he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Barclays panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Barclays solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Ammanford what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Ammanford conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Ammanford. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ammanford?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Ammanford. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.
