Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in South Woodford is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable 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 lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the South Woodford conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
