When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do Yarmouth conveyancing practitioners have to pay an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Yarmouth. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Yarmouth. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will permit you to let 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 UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel firm.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when buying a property in Yarmouth? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Yarmouth?
Unless a prior acquisition of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Yarmouth to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
