I have been advised by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Newbiggin By The Sea?
The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Is it the case that all Newbiggin By The Sea conveyancing solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
I am expecting a OIP from Principality 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).

You will need to appoint Newbiggin By The Sea solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
