A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

We previously appointed conveyancers locally in Dalston on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for handling the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Virgin Money?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Virgin Money but by your Dalston lawyer. Some firms on the Virgin Money panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

My husband and I are buying a ground floor flat in Dalston. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. The financial adviser contacted us yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the Principality approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a different conveyancer that is on their approved list or should we pay for separate representation, with Principality appointing their own approved conveyancing practitioner.

If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to meet. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Principality and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Principality's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Dalston solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
