Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burnham

I am not well enough to travel far from Burnham. I would like to know the understand why all Burnham conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to banks and building societies culling less reputable firms off their official list of approved lawyers .

I do hope you can help me. My Burnham solicitor is informing me me that he has toapply for Burnham conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. These Burnham searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Burnham conveyancing searches.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Burnham? Why is this being asked of me?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Burnham conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you reside.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to validate not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

My Solicitor in Burnham is not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Complete the purchase with your existing Burnham lawyers but Platform Home Loans Ltd will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges and result in delays.
  2. Find a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Burnham prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks will not give a mortgage on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Burnham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Burnham especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Burnham.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Burnham for my home move. Is it possible to check a firm’s complaints history with the legal regulator?

Anyone may review documented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions arising from investigations started on or after 1 January 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record. For records Pre 2008, or to check a firm's history, call 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 09.30 - 18.00 Tuesday. For non-uk callers, use +44 (0)121 329 6800.
