I plan on buying property in Upper Walthamstow. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Upper Walthamstow conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
You must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can select a Upper Walthamstow property lawyer of your choosing. However, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender solicitor panel further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Upper Walthamstow. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am intent on selling our home in Upper Walthamstow and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Upper Walthamstow conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Upper Walthamstow. Having lived in Upper Walthamstow for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
