Is the fact that my conveyancer in Northleach is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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) lack 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Northleach conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am considering applying for a Clydesdale mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Northleach with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Northleach
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Northleach conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
