Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Abercarn is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Abercarn conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Do conveyancers request money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Abercarn?
If you are buying a property in Abercarn your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the purchase price then this should be needed immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be transferred a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
Is there a list of RBS panel conveyancers in Abercarn on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Abercarn is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Abercarn conveyancer having checked that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Abercarn surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
