Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Eastcote is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Eastcote conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Any high street Eastcote lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Eastcote. We have lived in Eastcote for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
