What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Kington?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am assisting my sister sell her house in Kington. Does the conveyancer commission the EPC or it is for me to see to?

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Kington. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you now have a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing.

I currently have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Kington. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Skipton?
You must advise Skipton before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel lawyer.
Am I right to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Kington conveyancing practice?
As with lots of service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward lawyers to select. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks have an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
