Q and A’s regarding the Leek BS Solicitor Panel from members of the public

I appointed a solicitor to conveyancing on my remortgage six weeks ago having applied for a mortgage with Leek BS. The firm assured me that they are on Leek BS conveyancing panel and advised me their panel reference. Leek BS then ,via my broker advised that their panel number was dormant and would need to be reactivated. What happens next? Do I instruct a different law firm currently on the conveyancing panel for Leek BS?
The answer depends on whether you still have confidence in the said solicitors and how long it will take for the firm to be reinstated on the Leek BS conveyancing panel You may wish to enlist the help of your broker to check with the Leek BS as to the time frame to get your lawyer reinstated on the panel once again.
