Is the fact that my solicitor in Ealing is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Ealing conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
