My aunt pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Hatfield there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to the property. Is this right?

The mortgage over my property is with Nottingham for my property in Hatfield. Conveyancing was finalised a year 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 BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Nottingham must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 Nottingham directly. You need not do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel firm.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Hatfield. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hatfield
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Hatfield conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
