Is it the case that all Kings Norton CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Principality conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Kings Norton. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Kings Norton.
My offer was accepted on a property in Kings Norton on 29/9/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Are Virgin Money entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Kings Norton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kings Norton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Our mortgage broker has suggested using their conveyancing practitioner for my conveyancing in Kings Norton - Is it not simpler better to just instruct them?
It is not always the case and you are at liberty to opt for whichever conveyancer you decide for your Kings Norton conveyancing. The property lawyer suggested by an estate agent may not necessarily be the right property lawyer, they may recommend their preferred conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
