Is the fact that my conveyancer in Blaby is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters 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 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 contact the Blaby conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
