Is the fact that my conveyancer in Lytchett Matravers is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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 simply call the Lytchett Matravers conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
