I had an offer accepted on a house in Datchet and Langley on 28/8/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

A high street Datchet and Langley conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Datchet and Langley. Having lived in Datchet and Langley for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
