We have agreed to purchase a house in Church Stretton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Church Stretton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an maisonette in Church Stretton accepted, the seller does however have an associated purchase. The current proprietors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Church Stretton. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is standard to have apprehensions where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Church Stretton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
