Is the fact that my solicitor in Church End is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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 simply call the Church End conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
