Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shenfield

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Shenfield is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of 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) 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 contact the Shenfield conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
