Is the fact that my solicitor in Bermondsey is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?

That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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 contact the Bermondsey conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
