Is the fact that my conveyancer in Almondsbury is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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 simply call the Almondsbury conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
My partner and I are planning on selling our property in Almondsbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Almondsbury conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Almondsbury. Having lived in Almondsbury for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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)
