Regulation 6 Tying-in
An independent qualified conveyancer shall not refuse to accept instructions to provide a client with conveyancing services on the ground that the client has declined to instruct that independent qualified conveyancer or an associate to provide any of the specified services.
Where an independent qualified conveyancer provides any of the specified services in addition to conveyancing services, any material published by that independent qualified conveyancer for the purpose of advertising the conveyancing services shall make it clear that the conveyancing services may be provided to a client by that independent qualified conveyancer whether or not that independent qualified conveyancer also provides the client with any of the specified services.
Before an independent qualified conveyancer accepts instructions from a client to provide conveyancing services, he shall ascertain–
whether the client has been offered any of the specified services by an associate or by any other person; and, if so,
whether the client has been offered those services on the express condition that he uses the independent qualified conveyancer for the provision of conveyancing services,
and the independent qualified conveyancer shall not knowingly act for such a client.
