Is the fact that my conveyancer in Wembley is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel.
