Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Glan Conwy conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?
If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Glan Conwy lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Glan Conwy and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my .

I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
