I am thinking of mortgaging my house in Northwich, does my lawyer need to be on the Clydesdale Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Clydesdale will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only be done after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Northwich. The Northwich property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
