Is the fact that my conveyancer in Beckermet is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel.

If you are concerned you should simply call the Beckermet conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
