Is the fact that my solicitor in Hamworthy is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible 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) low volume 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Hamworthy conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
