Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Sunbury On Thames is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% 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 solicitor 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 Sunbury On Thames conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
