Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Berwick Upon Tweed is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. 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.
