My best friend’s sister is a conveyancing practitioner. I am hopeful that I will be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Pontarddulais?

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Pontarddulais?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank to determine if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Pontarddulais.
Should our solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Pontarddulais.

The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to discover whether the premises has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. The purchaser’s solicitors should also commission an enviro search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Pontarddulais
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Pontarddulais conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
