Our conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Crynant. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our has advised that he must ensure that the lender is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client.

My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from as we intend to conduct improvements to our property in Crynant. Are we obliged to select a high street Crynant solicitor on the conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the panel.
We were going to get a OIP from this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do recommend any Crynant solicitors on the conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Crynant solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Crynant. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A couple of days later, the contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the 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 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 close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Crynant and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Crynant. We have lived in Crynant for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Crynant for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Crynant conveyancing specialists.
