Is the fact that my conveyancer in Chaddesden is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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) 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Chaddesden conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Chaddesden benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
