Is the fact that my conveyancer in Stourport On Severn is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent 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) 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 contact the Stourport On Severn conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
