Is the fact that my conveyancer in Laceby is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly 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) lack 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Laceby conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Do I need to be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Laceby conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend solicitors to choose. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
