Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Christchurch is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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 lawyer 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 Christchurch conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, the vast majority lenders no longer oblige their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to hand over identification documents and there are still manifest benefits to choosing a locally based ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Christchurch.
