Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Nag's Head is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Nag's Head conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

How does conveyancing in Nag's Head differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Nag's Head come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Nag's Head typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Nag's Head or who has acted in the same development.

If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to your bank then they would have to refrain from representing you and the mortgage company.
