Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Bosham is not listed 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 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 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Bosham conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
