Is the fact that my solicitor in Greenford is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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 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 contact the Greenford conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
