We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Sandiacre based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to see if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Sandiacre.
