Is the fact that my solicitor in Brecon Beacons is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Brecon Beacons conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Brecon Beacons with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
