I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Burton Joyce?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the lender and ask if they allow a monetary alternative.

This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Burton Joyce conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable Burton Joyce energy assessors
