Is it the case that all Rhuddlan conveyancing solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being pedantic. The Rhuddlan solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Rhuddlan on 12/6/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Do I need to be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Rhuddlan conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend lawyers to select. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
