Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters 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 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 contact the Roker conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I'm buying my first flat in Roker with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
