Is it correct that all Corbridge CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I'm spending time looking at flats in Corbridge and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with RBS.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by HSBC. Is it usual for HSBC to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Corbridge is approved on their conveyancing panel? HSBC have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I'm buying my first flat in Corbridge with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
The property lawyers handling our conveyancing in Corbridge has sent documents to review that show the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Although most properties in Corbridge are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Corbridge that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Corbridge property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Corbridge conveyancing practitioners should be familiar with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the usual proposition presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to deal with the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this can though naturally result in a protracted conveyancing.
