Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hope Valley is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?

That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible 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) 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Hope Valley conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Flying freeholds in Hope Valley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
