Is the fact that my solicitor in Gorseinon is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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 solicitor 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 Gorseinon conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Gorseinon conveyancing searches.
