Britannia Conveyancing Panel: Recently Asked Questions
Can a practice make a complaint to the Council of Mortgage Lenders about being suspended from the Britannia conveyancing panel?
The CML is an association rather than a regulator and therefore do not advise on complaints against lenders. You can of course contact Lexsure to see if we can help.

There are many reports available, five of which are as follows:
- Average time frame to register charges at the Land Registry
- Disclosure/Notification to Lender analysis indicating frequency and nature of disclosures - to include benchmarking analysis against aggregate data
- Evidence of undertaking logs
- The percentage of the firm’s business which is conveyancing (broken down into sale/purchase and remortgage)
- Average mortgage advance

Britannia conveyancing panel was revoked but was reinstated on appeal, do I need to include this information on my CQS application?
