Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Shirebrook is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect 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. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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 simply call the Shirebrook conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
