Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Eynsham is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. 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. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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 simply call the Eynsham conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Eynsham and am I required to attend the lawyers office?

The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Eynsham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
