Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Liss

Is the fact that my solicitor in Liss is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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 simply call the Liss conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

You should use a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. The simplest thing to do is call your chosen Liss conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of alternatives available to you here:

  • Carry on with your preferred Liss solicitor but HSBC will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner on their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional charges and potential delay.
  • Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your conveyancer to attempt to join the lender panel.
