Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Walkington is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

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 most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Walkington conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Walkington on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further charge for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your Walkington conveyancer. Some firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
