Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Groby and Ratby is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a 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) 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 contact the Groby and Ratby conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Groby and Ratby house deals. Is that correct?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Groby and Ratby.
