Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Chesham is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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. Should you be concerned you should contact the Chesham conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
Can you help? My Chesham conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound toorder Chesham conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chesham conveyancing searches.
