Is the fact that my conveyancer in Harold Park is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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) 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. If you are concerned you should contact the Harold Park conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
