Is the fact that my solicitor in Gamston is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer 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 Gamston conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Completed the sale of my flat in Gamston last January but my buyer keeps whats apping daily to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your conveyancer should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Gamston.

We previously selected solicitors located in Gamston on the Santander solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Santander but by your Gamston lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Can I be sure that the Gamston conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Gamston obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips.

I'm buying a new build house in Gamston with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
