If you are purchasing a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Lloyds to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Lloyds's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Penyffordd solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
