My fiance and I intend to purchase a newly converted apartment in Ystrad Mynach with a homeloan from TSB.We use our Ystrad Mynach conveyancing practitioner but TSB informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a TSB panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?

No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Ystrad Mynach. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?

You must advise Co-operative before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative 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.
