Are all Bradford On Avon Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
My wife and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from HSBC as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Bradford On Avon. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Bradford On Avon solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
HSBC do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
About to purchase apartment in Bradford On Avon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bradford On Avon conveyancer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

I'm buying a new build house in Bradford On Avon with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend lawyers to retain. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
