Is the fact that my conveyancer in Bedmond is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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 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 Bedmond conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
