Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Witham is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters 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 Witham conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Witham and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Witham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Witham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Witham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
