Is the fact that my conveyancer in Ladywell is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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) low volume 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Ladywell conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
Do I have to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Ladywell so that I can attend their offices if necessary.
Most approved lawyers for lenders carry out their communications via the post, e-mail or over the phone. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in England or Wales.

We have lived in Ladywell for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

We are four weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Ladywell. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be very poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage offer been issued? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new solicitor and have the offer are re-issued. The conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental fees and delays. That should be your first question of the new solicitors. Our find a solicitor tool will assist you in finding a bank approved conveyancer for your home move in Ladywell
