Our solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Poynton. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution.

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage.

It is true that some lenders now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership 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 remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Yorkshire BS, do Poynton conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
