Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hampden Pk is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his 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 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 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 Hampden Pk conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Hampden Pk conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
