I had an offer accepted on a house in Wroughton on 27/4/2026, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Wroughton. I've stumble upon a site which seems to have the perfect offering If it is possible to get all formalities completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My work colleague mentioned that before choosing a conveyancing firm they need approved by your lender. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP from Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a local conveyancing lawyer in Wroughton on standby. Will Birmingham Midhshires require an approved conveyancer to be used? Does a directory of panel firms even exist so I can appoint a conveyancing solicitor in Wroughton?
You should use a solicitor that is on the Birmingham Midhshires panel. Just call your chosen Wroughton conveyancing solicitor to check if they are on the Birmingham Midhshires panel. If they are not approved you have numerous alternatives available to you here:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Wroughton conveyancer but Birmingham Midhshires will need to use a conveyancer from their approved list. The net result is additional cost together with likely interruption.
- Choose a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Birmingham Midhshires conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to seek to join the lender panel.
