Is it the case that all West Moors CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the HSBC conveyancing panel?

A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers located in West Moors on the RBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by RBS?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by RBS but by your West Moors conveyancer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We were going to get a AIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any West Moors solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

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

I own a semi-detached Georgian property in West Moors. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in West Moors and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
