Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Woodhouse Eaves is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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) lack 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 contact the Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
