I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Castle Vale with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

The current proprietors have submitted an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Castle Vale. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Castle Vale conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Castle Vale.
