Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the UBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Valley?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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 opted to have a survey done on a property in Valley before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

My husband and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Valley. At the time of instructing our conveyancer, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. The mortgage broker called yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the Principality approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just pick a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with Principality appointing their own preferred solicitor.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to meet. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should contact Principality to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Principality's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Valley solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
