Is the fact that my conveyancer in Aston on Trent is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Aston on Trent conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
