We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Aberporth for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank National Westminster Bank won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have limited the number of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. You should note that National Westminster Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of National Westminster Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are mixed views regarding the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Aberporth only perform a couple conveyances a year.

Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
