After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was retained a required element of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is advertised.

We expect to receive a OIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Highworth solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Highworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Highworth on 8/10/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing 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.
