Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Brent Park is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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 simply call the Brent Park conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Brent Park
Two types of professional can carry out conveyancing in Brent Park namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

My partner and I are spending time looking at flats in Brent Park and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have my solicitor on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Clydesdale.
It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Brent Park on 10/1/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
