Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Welshpool is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Welshpool conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Should my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Welshpool.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Welshpool. There are those who buy a property in Welshpool, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Welshpool. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s solicitors will also order an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.

My a dozen years ago. He has got wed, widowed and in recent months got remarried. He now intends to the sell the Welshpool property. I suspect that he will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the but he is worried it will hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the property?
You are not required to bring up to date the register as long as you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s should examine the land registry information and require evidence to establish the change of name e.g. marriage certificates.
