Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Radlett is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Radlett conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Flying freeholds in Radlett are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Radlett you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
