We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Keyworth for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Pre- 2008 most banks had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Keyworth conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Keyworth conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Keyworth is one of the hundreds of locations where the lawyers we recommend are are approved Coventry Building Society.

Is it the case that all Keyworth CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?

A selection of lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Nottingham as we want to conduct alterations to our property in Keyworth. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Keyworth solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

I have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Keyworth. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?

You must advise RBS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

Flying freeholds in Keyworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.
