Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Amlwch is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer 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 simply call the Amlwch conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Amlwch. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Amlwch?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Can I be sure that the Amlwch conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Amlwch obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.
The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Amlwch. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
