Is it correct that all Glossop CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the HSBC conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Glossop on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by UBS but by your Glossop conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Glossop conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?

Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Glossop differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Glossop come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Glossop typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Glossop or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a few estate agents in Glossop to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to market your site rather than another?
We don’t make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Glossop
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Glossop conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
