Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Bookham is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (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. If you are concerned you should contact the Bookham conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

My lawyer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bookham conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Bookham. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of delay in Bookham conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
