Does a directory service exist listing TSB panel solicitors in Millbank on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

I currently have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Millbank. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will allow you to rent 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 TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being problematic. The Millbank solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Am I right to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Millbank conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend solicitors to instruct. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
Is it best to instruct a Millbank conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities however her office is 400kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Millbank conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Millbank know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were content that must trump using an unknown Millbank conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
