Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Grange Park is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?

That is most likely a wrong 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 top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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 contact the Grange Park conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
