Is the fact that my solicitor in Bletchley is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Bletchley conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
