Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 26/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

Is it the case that all Mayfair CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved firms?

A selection of banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation 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 solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do Mayfair conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I am buying a property in Mayfair. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Mayfair.

Will my conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Mayfair.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Mayfair. Some people will acquire a house in Mayfair, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Mayfair. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.

I'm buying a new build house in Mayfair with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my loan with National Westminster 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.

Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Mayfair I wish to talk to a conveyancer about myconveyancing in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
