Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in South Ockendon is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?

That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. 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 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 simply call the South Ockendon conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
