Is the fact that my conveyancer in Ryhope is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel.
