It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions.

You have the right to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
