Is the fact that my conveyancer in Ratcliff is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent 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 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 Ratcliff conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
