In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly £400 cheaper than my local Ealing solicitor. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of conveyancers who are quick and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended solicitor is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the situation you should stick with your local Ealing solicitor.
