Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Upper Tean is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?

It would not be wise 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 top 5 reasons are as follows: (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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Upper Tean conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
