I have been told by my conveyancer that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in New Barnet?

Is it the case that all New Barnet CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in New Barnet. Conveyancing has been completed 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor.
