Is it correct that all Ferring CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their panels.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Ferring conveyancing solicitors were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale conducted the survey? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Ferring off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

Is it best to instruct a Ferring conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal work but his firm is located 300miles drive away.
The benefit of a local Ferring conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were content that should surpass using an unfamiliar Ferring conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
