Is the fact that my conveyancer in Leegomery is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Leegomery conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Leegomery. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Leegomery?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to lenders such as Clydesdale, do Leegomery property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Leegomery. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
