Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Croston is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Croston conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
We are intent on selling our house in Croston and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Croston. We have lived in Croston for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Croston - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
