I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Gilwern. What can I do to quicken up the conveyancing process?

It is possible that they would have handled otherproperties in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Gilwern conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel.

Almost all Gilwern conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
