I am hoping to receive a offer of a mortgage from Yorkshire Bank. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the Yorkshire Bank Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers

My son is in the process of securing a new build apartment with a home loan from Yorkshire Bank. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested.
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 Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I have been looking for online conveyancing estimates. Can I be confident that all the firms that are listed on your site are on the Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel?

I have paid off my 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.
For 5 years I had a mortgage with Yorkshire Bank. My father has just retired and wants to pay off my mortgage. After Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire Bank conveyancing panel? I do not intend to live at the property once the Yorkshire Bank mortgage is discharged.
Although you do need to retain the services of a lawyer they dont
need to be on the Yorkshire 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. There's no capital gains tax for you as it is
your main residence.
Yorkshire Bank have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on house has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure these solicitors are on the lenders panel). Call up Yorkshire Bank or your broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Yorkshire Bank will tell you what documents they want. Yorkshire Bank will instruct a valuer. The valuer will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about week to get a mortgage offer. Yorkshire Bank will issue the offer to you and your lawyer. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing.
