My husband and I are acquiring a newly built flat in Middlesbrough and my conveyancer is telling me that she has to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I don't want to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Middlesbrough?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Middlesbrough?
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Middlesbrough and Solicitor partnerships in Middlesbrough who can help with your conveyancing We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. The two can handle other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.

I'm at the point of looking at houses in Middlesbrough and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with TSB.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
