I am considering applying for a Bank of Ireland mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Pembroke with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Bank of Ireland will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

We are buying a property in Pembroke. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

When it comes to conveyancing in Pembroke seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

I am expecting a DIP from Kent Reliance this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Pembroke solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Pembroke solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.

A friend advised me that if I am purchasing in Pembroke I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Pembroke conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing important information about Pembroke around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Pembroke Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Pembroke.

My wife and I are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Pembroke, and need to get solicitors appointed. I have utilised the different comparison based websites and the quotes are from all across the country. Is it important to have a Pembroke property lawyer local to our potential new home? We are fine to do all the communicating electronically, but I guess at some point we may be required to attend the conveyancer's office to sign contracts?

The conveyancing practitioner does not have to be in Pembroke, but opting for local means that you have the option to visit their offices if you need to, by way of example, if a signature is needed urgently. Also, a Pembroke solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local conveyancer) with them, which should help smooth the process.
