Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Surrey Quays is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
It would not be wise 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 Surrey Quays conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Surrey Quays. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Surrey Quays - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
