I am obtaining a mortgage with Nat West. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Llanelli. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out property in Llanelli by 26/11/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your lease unless you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, notify to your lawyer and request that they chase the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve
It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Llanelli. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may still be with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Llanelli relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Llanelli based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank and explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Llanelli.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Llanelli. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

What can I do to establish who owns a house in Llanelli?
Provided the property is registered with HMLR, and you have the specifics of the location of the premises, you should be able to obtain results from the HM Land Registry of the registered proprietor for a a minimal charge.
