Is the fact that my solicitor in Lechlade is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. 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 most common reasons for removal are: (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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Lechlade conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
