Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hither Green is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Hither Green conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Principality but by your Hither Green lawyer. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Hither Green. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform TSB?
Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.
