My fiance and I are intent on acquiring residence in Oxton. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Can I still continue with my Oxton conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

The lawyer will conduct all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You may appoint a Oxton conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, where the solicitor selected is not on the bank solicitor panel further fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Oxton. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’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 Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Oxton conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
