Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Dorchester On Thames is not listed on my lender's conveyancing 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 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Dorchester On Thames conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Dorchester On Thames but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of six thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however TSB are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a TSB approved list is duty bound to inform TSB of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Dorchester On Thames.
