Is the fact that my conveyancer in Winchmore Hill is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Winchmore Hill conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
