Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wem?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. 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 for a fee.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Wem solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire 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 on a detached house in Wem has been accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Wem. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Wem conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Wem.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Wem?

Much to my surprise my lawyer in Wem is asking me for proof of ID documents stating that this is part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the lender Solicitor panel. Can this be correct?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the lender. This is not unique to conveyancing in Wem
