Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Costessey is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Costessey conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
