Me and my husband are acquiring a leasehold flat in Dyserth. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to use my Dyserth conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank list of approved lawyers?

Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they can do so.
