Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Ryhope is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Ryhope conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Ryhope conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel?
Ryhope conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Kent Reliance directly.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Ryhope
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Ryhope conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
