Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Irthlingborough is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent 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 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 Irthlingborough conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
