My wife and I are intent on acquiring a leasehold flat in Mosborough. My property lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Can I still continue with my Mosborough conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender approved list?
You must instruct a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you take out a loan to purchase your home. The property lawyer will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can appoint a Mosborough property lawyer of your choice. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Mosborough?
Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender to determine 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 your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Mosborough.
I'm spending time viewing apartments in Mosborough and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Clydesdale.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
About to purchase house in Mosborough. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mosborough solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Mosborough has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Lloyds or the broker and finish off any relevant paperwork. Lloyds will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Mosborough.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Mosborough. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
