Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Ringwood is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Ringwood conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Just acquired a detached house in Ringwood , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Ringwood conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Ringwood registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I was recommended by three or four local property agents in Ringwood to select a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
