Is the fact that my solicitor in Bolsover is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. 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) 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 Bolsover conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
