Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Cemaes Bay is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (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 simply call the Cemaes Bay conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Cemaes Bay conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Cemaes Bay.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Cemaes Bay with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Cemaes Bay
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Cemaes Bay conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
