I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a North Ferriby based conveyancing firm?

The mortgage over my property is with Yorkshire BS for my property in North Ferriby. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 Yorkshire BS?
