Is it correct that all Kirby Muxloe CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,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 previously chose conveyancers based in Kirby Muxloe on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Santander but by your Kirby Muxloe conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kirby Muxloe is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am buying my first flat in Kirby Muxloe with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my loan with the lender. 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 would like to rent out my leasehold flat in Kirby Muxloe. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Kirby Muxloe do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
