My home in Desford is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from HSBC as we wish to conduct alterations to our property in Desford. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Desford solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

You will need to appoint Desford solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
