Is the fact that my solicitor in Isleworth is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. 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 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 Isleworth conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the HSBC Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Isleworth?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Isleworth in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
