It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Clarbeston Road involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Does a directory service exist listing TSB panel solicitors in Clarbeston Road on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Is it the case that all Clarbeston Road solicitor practices on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.
I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
You must advise Clydesdale before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor.
