Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hedge End and Botley is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Hedge End and Botley conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
