Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Armthorpe is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible 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) 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Armthorpe conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
