Is the fact that my solicitor in Denbigh is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a 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) 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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Denbigh conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Denbigh I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Denbigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
