Is the fact that my conveyancer in Kearsley is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters 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 simply call the Kearsley conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
