My property lawyer in Clynderwen has never been on on the Bank of Ireland Solicitor Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Bank of Ireland list of approved lawyers?

- Carry on with your preferred Clynderwen solicitors but Bank of Ireland will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges as well as cause frustration.
- Get an alternative solicitor to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Bank of Ireland panel
I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Clynderwen. The Clynderwen property was put into my name in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Is it correct that all Clynderwen CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.

I was advised by a couple of local property agents in Clynderwen to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
