Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Tenbury Wells is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Tenbury Wells conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Tenbury Wells
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Tenbury Wells conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
