Is the fact that my conveyancer in Harbury is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent 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 solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Harbury conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
