Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Long Hanborough is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent 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) 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Long Hanborough conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
I am about to exchange buying a property in Long Hanborough but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your solicitor being on the Co-operative approved list is required to disclose to Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Long Hanborough.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
