We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Aston Clinton who is on the Barclays approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Are all Aston Clinton Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the UBS conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Kent Reliance as we want to conduct renovations to our property in Aston Clinton. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Aston Clinton solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Kent Reliance don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
My offer was accepted on a property in Aston Clinton on 24/11/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Aston Clinton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
