Is it conceivable that

Section 16.2.1 of Part 1 of the Handbook relevant to a solicitor on the

Who do building societies allow to be on their Conveyancing Panels?
In the same way that there is a unique Vida Homeloans
conveyancing panel most building societies, operate a conveyancing
panel for solicitors and other conveyancers that the lender will
instruct. Terms and Conditions and criteria for inclusion on a
building society conveyancing panel vary from lender-to-lender. Having
CQS accreditation may be a requirement. Institutional lenders, such
as a building society, is a client and is entitled to instruct the
solicitor or conveyancer of its choosing (who, in turn, is free to
accept or refuse instructions). Therefore, if lender and borrower
cannot agree which solicitor or conveyancer should represent them
jointly, they would usually proceed on a separate representation
basis. The BSA have not published the equivalent of the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook
Part 3s.

I recently became aware that the firm is no longer on the
Vida Homeloans solicitor panel? Is this likely to effect my PII cover?
The best placed professionals to answer this question are your insurance brokers.
The chances are that on the basis that you have not been removed for
fraud or negligence reasons that there will be little or no
impact. The main reason why a firm would be removed off of a lender
panel is due to low volume of conveyancing cases although there may be
a number of criteria for Vida Homeloans solicitor panel
membership. Please remember that it is always important that you
complete your insurance forms accurately.
