Is the fact that my solicitor in Pattingham is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Pattingham conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am purchasing a property in Pattingham. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
As your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Pattingham.
