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

We were going to get a OIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Hanley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
