Is it correct that all Warminster CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
My fiancee and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Warminster and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with HSBC.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
About to purchase house in Warminster. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Warminster solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Warminster?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Warminster.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Warminster is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Warminster are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Warminster you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Warminster may determine 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.

My 20yr old son is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. One the seller agreed the offer on the apartment we rang the lender to issue the formal offer. I was very surprised to discover that banks do not accept all lawyer, they have to be on a list, is this correct?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Warminster conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
