It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting 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 Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.

Santander have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Flint Mountain has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s panel).

Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Santander will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Flint Mountain.

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Flint Mountain.
I am buying a new build house in Flint Mountain with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I am an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Flint Mountain which will be sold. The bungalow has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many purchasers will insist that it is completed before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems sensible to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
