Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Wedmore. Is there a reason why all Wedmore lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?

Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies pruning a number of firms from their books of approved solicitors .

Can you help? My Wedmore solicitor is advising me that he has toapply for Wedmore conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wedmore conveyancing searches.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Wedmore. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

Virgin Money must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
