Is the fact that my solicitor in Borth Y Gest is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would not be wise 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 top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Borth Y Gest conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
