So as far as I can make out we, a solicitor’s firm, must now go cap in hand to a licensed conveyancer firm if we want to appeal to get on to the panel of a high street bank. And that licensed conveyancer firm, which is on the panel of the high street bank and doesn’t have the Conveyancing Quality Scheme, will reject our appeal if we do not have the CQS.

Something rotten in the state of Denmark, methinks.
