I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Driffield based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank and determine if they make available a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Driffield.
