My husband and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Llanymynech with a mortgage. We have a Llanymynech lawyer, however the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or continue with our Llanymynech lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is unjust; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Llanymynech conveyancer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Llanymynech conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

As a FTB what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Llanymynech?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Llanymynech or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially your lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Llanymynech an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
The Llanymynech conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Llanymynech have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my preferred Llanymynech lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.
