Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Clarborough is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters 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 lawyer 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 simply call the Clarborough conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Clarborough. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Clarborough?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
