Unlike the CML the Building Society Mortgage Instructions deal with this. Section A.12 states ‘In order to act on our behalf your firm or company must be a member of our conveyancing panel provided we are a society that operates one – see specific requirements for details of our arrangements.
The Special Requirements state:
The Society outsources management of its conveyancing panel to Legal Marketing Services Limited (“LMS”).
Firms may apply for inclusion to the Society’s conveyancing panel by visiting www.lms.com/lenderpanels
You must also comply with the terms and conditions of your Newcastle Building Society solicitor panel appointment.
Can my firm make a complaint to the BSA about being removed excluded suspended from the Newcastle Building Society conveyancing panel?
The BSA is an association rather than a regulator and therefore cannot advise on grievances against lenders. You can of course contact Lexsure to see if we can assist.

CQS membership is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless the BSA have indicated that it is likely to become a prerequisite for firms wishing to join their panels. Some Lenders now use the scheme as the starting point for Panel approval as is the case Santander .
