My wife and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Pensysarn with a mortgage. We have a Pensysarn solicitor, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Pensysarn conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Pensysarn solicitor ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’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. A further alternative is for your Pensysarn conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Completed the sale of my flat in Pensysarn last March yet the purchaser is Skype messaging every few hours to moan that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your lawyer is obliged to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where appropriate, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Pensysarn.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Pensysarn. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Pensysarn.
We were going to get a OIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Pensysarn solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Pensysarn solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Pensysarn off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
