We're in Wales, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Yorkshire Bank , but our lawyer is on the Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain
I have today made my last payment due on mortgage with Yorkshire Bank. I assume I don't need a solicitor on the Yorkshire Bank panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire Bank mortgage they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire Bank mortgage from the register. Yorkshire Bank,and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
but are not moving to another property
where the Yorkshire Bank has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
the Yorkshire Bank has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Yorkshire Bank mortgage has been paid off.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment accepted, the seller does however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. My conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage app going with Yorkshire Bank?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey/valuation, conveyancing search costs, etc). First you should check that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot mortgage some buyers would pally for the mortgage with Yorkshire Bank and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
