Do Clydesdale recommend any Ely solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Ely solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

I have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Ely. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Aldermore?

You must advise Aldermore in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel firm.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Ely

Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Ely conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
