Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Murton

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Murton is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Murton conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
