This system optimises the way you can prove to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their instructions, with automatic updates on Investec’s changes.

It is true that some banks and building societies 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. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
Do conveyancing lawyers on the Investec conveyancing panel work on a no sale no fee basis?
On the whole there are no requirements by lenders for their firms to operate on a no-sale-no-fee basis. There a small number of lenders who operate a very restricted conveyancing panel managed by a third party company (often termed in the industry as a ‘gatekeeper’). That third party may impose certain conditions such as non-sale-no fee on the panel firms. If you require this as a condition of your conveyancing then you should check with the conveyancing firm that this is part of their package
My existing mortgage is with Investec. My father retired last week and wants to pay off my mortgage. After Investec is paid, I want to transfer the property to my mother's name; How long does the process take? Do we need two separate solicitors on the Investec conveyancing panel? I do not intend to live at the property once the Investec mortgage is discharged.
Although you do need to retain the services of a lawyer they dont need to be on the Investec panel. You will need a solicitor to draw up the transfer and to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about the implications. There could be an inheritance tax issue if you die within 7 years of this. There's no capital gains tax for you as it is your main residence.
