I am buying a house without a mortgage in Llanelli. I have lived for the last Seventeen years in Llanelli. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Llanelli conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it may be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Llanelli should be able to give you some practical guidance in this regard.
We are planning to buy with Melton Mowbray Building Society. I popped in a couple of local practices yet am unable to find a Llanelli conveyancing firm on the Melton Mowbray Building Society panel. Can you assist?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Llanelli. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Llanelli?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Llanelli conveyancing solicitors were instructed. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to issue the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance done the survey? Have you informed Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Llanelli on 20/11/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Llanelli completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Llanelli. I've discover a web site which looks to be the ideal answer If there is a chance to get all formalities done via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
