Is it correct that all Chaddesden CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.

We were going to get a DIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Chaddesden solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Chaddesden solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I am buying a house and the conveyancer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the property could be liable as it falls into the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really appropriate for conveyancing in Chaddesden
Unless a previous purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Chaddesden to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Chaddesden I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Chaddesden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I'm remortgaging a apartment in Chaddesden. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
