I am considering refinancing my house in Rawcliffe, does my lawyer need to be on the Principality Solicitor panel?
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.

My offer was accepted on a property in Rawcliffe on 18/6/2025, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer.
