We were going to get a DIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

I currently have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Fulford. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor.
