Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Aldborough Hatch is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% 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 solicitor 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 simply call the Aldborough Hatch conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
