Is the fact that my solicitor in Macclesfield is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel.
