I am purchasing residence in Nantyglo. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank approved panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Nantyglo conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?

Your options include

• Carry on with your chosen Nantyglo solicitor but your lender will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees and probable frustration.
• Choose a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
• Convince your conveyancing practitioner to pull out all the stops to get listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel

Having sold my house in Nantyglo last April but the buyer keeps whats apping daily complaining that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

Following your house sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer should also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Nantyglo.

I am selling our house in Nantyglo and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Nantyglo lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Nantyglo. We have lived in Nantyglo for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

My folks are having difficulties in finding their Nantyglo property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They have a vague memory 50 years ago when they purchased the house there were complications concerning the post code not being recognised in some systems.

Almost all properties in Nantyglo should appear. Have you endevoured to search with simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the properties inside that postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s lender.
