Is the fact that my conveyancer in Tenbury Wells is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. 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) low volume 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Tenbury Wells conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’.
