Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Oughtibridge. What is the rationale as to why all Oughtibridge conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Banks normally restrict either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation is required to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some banks such as HSBC made a decision to limit the size of their panel they allow to act for them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the accuracy of advice provided by any Oughtibridge conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Property fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are conflicting thoughts about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out a couple of conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls ask why conveyancing firms should have claim to be on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Oughtibridge. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. Shortly after, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging 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.
