My house in Clowne is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the lawyer have to be required to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I am helping my aunt sell her property in Clowne. Does the solicitor order an energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a required part of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that law firms normally arrange. If you are using a Clowne conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established local providers

Aldermore would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Clowne is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
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.
