Much to my surprise I have been told by my lender that my lawyer is not on the LiveMore Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain that this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the the approved LiveMore solicitor panel.
I am buying a newly constructed duplex and my solicitor is advising me that she has to reveal incentives from the seller as her firm is on the LiveMore conveyancing panel. I am under pressure to exchange and I have no desire to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on the LiveMore approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on LiveMore). The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

My house is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be on the LiveMore conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the LiveMore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. it might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
Is the case that all CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors on the LiveMore conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now use CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance.

I had instructed online solicitors based in Bristol who are on the LiveMore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee of £195 for the legal aspects of the LiveMore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by LiveMore?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitors can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by LiveMore but by your lawyers. Some firms on the LiveMore will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in month 8 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, LiveMore are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the LiveMore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but LiveMore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do LiveMore have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that LiveMore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why LiveMore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
