Is the fact that my conveyancer in Blaenavon is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?

That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of 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 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 Blaenavon conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Blaenavon is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Blaenavon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My wife and I are purchasing a first floor flat in Blaenavon. When we first instructed lawyer, they said that they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser called today to say that they are not on the Yorkshire BS approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a different solicitor that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Yorkshire BS appointing their own preferred property lawyer.

When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Yorkshire BS and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Yorkshire BS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Blaenavon solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the equation.
