I plan on buying an apartment in Clynderwen. My lawyer is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Clynderwen conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?

The lawyer will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can select a Clynderwen conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they can do so.

My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Clydesdale as we intend to carry out alterations to our house in Clynderwen. Are we obliged to choose a local Clynderwen solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Clydesdale don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Clynderwen is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am purchasing a new build house in Clynderwen with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead.
