How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find one who is on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel. How easy is it to change conveyancer?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer you're considering.
We are due to exchange on the purchase a house but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k approx by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company DB UK Bank will not agree to this. Why was DB UK Bank even consulted?
Your lawyer being on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform DB UK Bank of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyers to disclose the reduction to DB UK Bank then they would have to discontinue acting for you and DB UK Bank.

Do conveyancing solicitors on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel work on a no move no charge basis?
On the whole there are no requirements by lenders for their firms to operate on a no-sale-no-fee basis. There a small number of lenders who operate a very restricted conveyancing panel managed by a third party company (often termed in the industry as a ‘gatekeeper’). That third party may impose certain conditions such as non-sale-no fee on the panel firms. If you require this as a condition of your conveyancing then you should check with the conveyancing firm that this is part of their package

I have a mortgage with DB UK Bank. My father retired last week and wants to pay off my mortgage. After DB UK Bank is paid, I want to transfer the property to my mother's name; How long will it roughly take? Do we need two separate solicitors on the DB UK Bank conveyancing panel? I do not intend to live at the property once the DB UK Bank mortgage is discharged.
Although you do need to retain the services of a lawyer they dont
need to be on the DB UK Bank panel.
You will need a solicitor to draw up the transfer and
to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to
consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about
the implications. There could be an inheritance tax issue if you die
within 7 years of this. As the property is your main residence you need
not pay CGT but you should speak with your accountants in any event.
