In researching mumsnet.com for an online lawyer in Sandwich, many advise that I should look for a CQS kitemarked solicitor. What is CQS?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's biggest lenders. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Legal Ombudsman. The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Sandwich is one of the many areas in England and Wales where there are Accredited solicitors.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Sandwich for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sandwich conveyancing specialists.

I'm buying a new build house in Sandwich with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Sandwich is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Sandwich are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sandwich you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sandwich may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I recently discovered that one of the partners of the solicitors handling the purchase conveyancing in Sandwich is an uncle of the vendor. Is this acceptable?

On the basis that no conflict arises this is permitted. If you are obtaining mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific instructions concerning this. For example for Chelsea Building Society as of 21/1/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided that:
* there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction
* the firm is a partnership
* the conveyancer acting is not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family.
