I had an offer accepted on a property in Romsley on 29/8/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Romsley conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
