Is the fact that my conveyancer in Hackbridge is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a 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) 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Hackbridge conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

You should not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer will need to have this information on file. Your Hackbridge conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they may also ask further queries concerning the source of monies.
