Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in South Oxhey is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the South Oxhey conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in South Oxhey. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in South Oxhey?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home.
