Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Finsbury Park is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack 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 contact the Finsbury Park conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
