I am considering applying for a Skipton mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Bradley Stoke with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Skipton ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel, but Skipton would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Bradley Stoke conveyancing practitioners face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Bradley Stoke. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Bradley Stoke for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bradley Stoke conveyancing specialists.
My husband and I have just had an offer accepted on a flat and had an appointment on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved list of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an additional fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to select a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have requested HSBC to supply me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
Ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Bradley Stoke on the approved list for HSBC.
