Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Bilborough is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible 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 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 Bilborough conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Most buyers of new build property in Bilborough approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished.

It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bilborough or who has acted in the same development.
