Is the fact that my solicitor in Rainford is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Rainford conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I am about to complete buying a property in Rainford but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet TSB will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The conveyancer that is on a TSB conveyancing panel is required to disclose to TSB of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Rainford.
