Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Dalton in Furness is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable 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 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Dalton in Furness conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

My Dalton in Furness conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the lender.

We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
