Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hampstead Garden Suburb is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Hampstead Garden Suburb conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
