I am getting a mortgage offer from DB UK Bank. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the DB UK Bank Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers

My grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment with a mortgage from DB UK Bank. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked.
The Developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it.
The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

I have a mortgage with DB UK Bank. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending 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 DB UK Bank?
Your original mortgage agreement with DB UK Bank will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of DB UK Bank’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 DB UK Bank directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a DB UK Bank conveyancing panel solicitor.
