Is the fact that my conveyancer in Norfolk Broads is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?

That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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) 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 Norfolk Broads conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
