Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Robin Hoods Bay is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable 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 lawyer 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 Robin Hoods Bay conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
