Is the fact that my solicitor in Bounds Green is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Bounds Green conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
The Bounds Green conveyancing firm handling our Bounds Green conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
