My apartment in Ystradgynlais is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the solicitor have to be required to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds 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.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Ystradgynlais house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Have completed on a a terraced house in Ystradgynlais , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Ystradgynlais conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are dealt with.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ystradgynlais registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
