I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Horsforth. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the UBS 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 UBS 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.
I was told three 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 Horsforth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage 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 have been advised by three or four local selling agents in Horsforth to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
