  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and

I currently have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Rawcliffe. Conveyancing has been completed a year 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 BTL mortgage or inform RBS?

You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel lawyer.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Rawcliffe. Conveyancing and Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Rawcliffe who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
