CQS Members to Become HSBC Panel Members

Reading Time: < 1 minute

After lengthy negotiations between HSBC Bank and the Law Society (the representative body for solicitors in England and Wales), it has now been announced that all law firms that are members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), will be automatically entered onto HSBC’s panel of firms no later than 1 August 2012.

This is great news for buyers with HSBC mortgage offers who want to instruct Bennett Griffin LLP as we were one of the first firms in the area to become members of CQS.  The result is that we will be able to advise both a client purchasing a property and HSBC where they are providing the client with mortgage finance.  This will save such clients the costs of having to pay HSBC’s separate lawyers’ fees and will save time – which is an extremely important commodity in the house buying and selling process!
