Is the fact that my conveyancer in Caerwent is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
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 most common reasons for removal are: (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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Caerwent conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Caerwent and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Caerwent you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Caerwent)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.
