My flat in Ponders End is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my property lawyer have to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
