Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Frinton and Walton is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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 lawyer 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 Frinton and Walton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Frinton and Walton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
