Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Tonyrefail is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack 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 simply call the Tonyrefail conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Tonyrefail conveyancing practitioners were instructed. How long does it take for Nationwide to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nationwide conducted the survey? Have you advised Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tonyrefail bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Tonyrefail conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am intent on selling our home in Tonyrefail and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Tonyrefail lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tonyrefail. Having lived in Tonyrefail for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
