Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Broughton is not on my lender'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 all sorts of perfectly 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Broughton conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
