My husband and I are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Newcastle under Lyme with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We like our Newcastle under Lyme conveyancing solicitor but Barclays informed us he's not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Barclays approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays

We have agreed to purchase a house in Newcastle under Lyme. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Newcastle under Lyme.
