Much to our surprise we have been advised by our estate agent that my Batley solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
You need to call your Batley lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Batley conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
Are the Batley conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Principality conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Principality?
Batley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Principality directly.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Batley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Batley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

A couple of weeks ago I was informed by my mortgage company that their panel conveyancers operate no sale no charge basis for conveyancing in Batley. I had a purchase fall through yet the lawyers want search fees! They are stating that the fees are seperate!
in offering "no sale no fee" Batley conveyancing lawyers are writing off their fees for any work conducted. We must stress this does not constitute an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the property lawyer have to pay money out to other people, for instance Batley local search fees
