Is the fact that my solicitor in Eastcote is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would more than 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) 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Eastcote conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
