Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Broad Haven is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. 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 top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Broad Haven conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am purchasing a new build house in Broad Haven with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will affect my loan with Bank of Scotland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Broad Haven conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
