Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Newent is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s 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 that over three quarters 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 Newent conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

My fiance and I decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Newent with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society.We would like to retain our Newent conveyancing solicitor but Coventry Building Society informed us her practice is not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Coventry Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Coventry Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Newent 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
