I can't travel far from Dawlish. I would like to know the understand why all Dawlish conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
As inequitable as it may appear for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and feel it necessary to shield themselves against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks have restricted their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
Our nephew is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Dawlish with a home loan from Co-operative. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My conveyancers in Dawlish have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
