Is the fact that my conveyancer in Waddington is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable 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 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 Waddington conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
