Is it the case that all Wadebridge CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Aldermore conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is 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.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Wadebridge conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
is it true that all Wadebridge solicitor practices on the Principality conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

How does conveyancing in Wadebridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wadebridge come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Wadebridge typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wadebridge or who has acted in the same development.
