It is true that some banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,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.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Buxton conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for Nottingham to send the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham conducted the survey? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Buxton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I completed on my home on 4 February and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Buxton advises it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Buxton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Buxton is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Buxton?
Buxton conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be willing to assist. They may invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.

What is the the remaining lease term? Many Buxton leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for the upkeep of the block invoiced on behalf of the management company. Should you buy the apartment you will have to pay this contribution, normally quarterly throughout the year. This could vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, normally this is not a significant amount, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it could be prohibitively expensive.
