Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Meir is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s 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 that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. If you are concerned you should contact the Meir conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
My mortgage company has recommended solicitors on their panel based in Meir but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Meir round the corner to me. Are you able to assist?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Meir. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Meir - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
