Is it correct that all Rogiet CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the TSB conveyancing panel?

My partner and I are spending time looking at apartments in Rogiet and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with TSB.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rogiet solicitor - who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Rogiet surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of delay in Rogiet conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Rogiet.
I completed on my apartment on 6 November and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Rogiet advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Rogiet particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Rogiet registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be willing to assist.
