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

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Melton Constable conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
