It is true that some banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We previously instructed conveyancers locally in Penyffordd on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by HSBC but by your Penyffordd conveyancer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Co-operative. Is it usual for Co-operative to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Penyffordd is approved on their conveyancing panel? Co-operative have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
