I can't travel far from Meir. Can you please spell out why all Meir lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Before the recession most banks displayed an attitude to risk which is different from today. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
