Is it correct that all Alnmouth CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing list of approved firms?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
We expect to receive a OIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Alnmouth solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Alnmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
