It has come to my attention via my mortgage adviser that my solicitor is not on the Danske Bank Solicitor panel. How can I be certain that this is indeed the case?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Danske Bank conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked.
The Developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it.

Can I be sure that the solicitor on the Danske Bank panel is any good?
obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction
We have had an offer accepted on a flat I spoke to a conveyancer previously used by my mum and he recommended using a solicitor approved by Danske Bank. The estate agent recommended two local firms so I asked Danske Bank if the 2 suggested solicitors are approved, which they are not. Danske Bank pointed out that either practice can fill out the appropriate forms to become approved. Do I (1) save myself the aggravation and use one of Danske Bank 's conveyancing panel solicitors (2) Use the local solicitor and accept there may be delays etc as they go through the approval process.

I have a mortgage with Danske Bank. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide 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 Danske Bank?
You must advise Danske Bank in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Danske Bank’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 Danske Bank directly. You need not do this via a Danske Bank conveyancing panel solicitor.
