Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Sandbanks. What is the rationale as to why all Sandbanks conveyancers aren't included on all bank panels?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have since requiredmore information from law firms regarding their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the lenders set.
My conveyancer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Sandbanks. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must be satisfied that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
