my firm is on the State Bank of India UK conveyancing panel. Can I get an archived copy of a State Bank of India UK Part 2 from the CML?

I noticed the following question on my PI renewal form this year ‘Has your Firm been asked by a lender to agree to more onerous terms and conditions than provided for in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook?’ My firm is on the majority of approved panels including the
State Bank of India UK conveyancing panel. We have Terms and Conditions of appointment which we have to follow. Do I disclose these these Conditions ?
The concern here is if you are expect to enter into ‘more onerous’ conditions that than the Handbook obligations.
You have to try and take an objective view as to whether the Terms relating to the
State Bank of India UK conveyancing appointment (or other terms for other lenders) are ‘more onerous’ than the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Conditions. Depending on the Terms you may need to provide details on your renewal form. If you are in any doubt please call your broker to discuss before moving forward on this question.
I have been a qualified solicitor for approximately 35 years with an exemplary claims record and have been refused acceptance on the
State Bank of India UK conveyancing panel with no explanation. Am I not entitled to to know why?
For most lenders participation on the lender's panel of conveyancers is at the absolute discretion of the the lender. Many lenders reserve the right to accept or reject any application without giving any reason. You should check your original application to join the
State Bank of India UK conveyancing panel to see if you are entitled to a reason.
Will CQS membership guarantee my firm’s acceptance on to lenders conveyancing panels?
The Law Society’s CQS accreditation gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a prerequisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms. A number of Lenders now use the scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as Santander.
