Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Perranporth is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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 lawyer 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 Perranporth conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

How does conveyancing in Perranporth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Perranporth contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished.
