Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Cleethorpes is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible 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 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Cleethorpes conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out apartment in Cleethorpes by 4/12/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, contact to your conveyancer and ask them to they chase the sellers lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will aim towards

Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Cleethorpes?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you could take it that solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Cleethorpes to continue to advocate a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Cleethorpes that you're thinking of instructing.
