Is the fact that my conveyancer in Manchester is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly 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 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 contact the Manchester conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
