Is the fact that my conveyancer in Halesworth is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack 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 Halesworth conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Is it realistic for conveyancing in Halesworth to be finalised in 3 weeks?

Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and know-how. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Halesworth conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Halesworth conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the home move being held up by almost three weeks. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Almost all Halesworth conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.
