What happens if my solicitor is removed from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Branston?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am helping my aunt sell her house in Branston. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Branston conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable local providers

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Branston. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
