Find a Lender-Approved Local Conveyancer in Coventry

Is the fact that my solicitor in Coventry is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Coventry conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
