Landbay Partners Conveyancing Panel: Recently Asked Questions
Do Landbay Partners or the Council of Mortgage Lenders run training seminars for the
Landbay Partners approved solicitor panel in much the same way that the Law Society run cases for CQS firms?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (or the BSA) do not involve themselves in training although they do host numerous useful legal related conferences which are attended by firms on the Landbay Partners conveyancing panel. It is our intention to run specific lender focused seminars in the coming months including a webinar on Landbay Partners’s Part 2 obligations. Law firms on the Landbay Partners conveyancing panel are welcome. Further details will be made available as part of the LENDERmonitor Alerts.
Will the fact that my firm subscribes to Alerts via this site help in my application to join the Landbay Partners solicitor panel?

Do banks such as
Landbay Partners engage an independent conveyancing panel for buy to let mortgages?
Most lenders do not operate a specific buy to let conveyancing panel but we are hearing about a few that do. We do not know what the position is with
Landbay Partners as at todays date. If you're about to receive instructions from a client on a buy to let purchase with a mortgage from
Landbay Partners we suggest that you call
Landbay Partners to check the position.
The firm that I work for is on the
Landbay Partners conveyancing panel. I am dealing with
Landbay Partners mortgage on a purchase. My borrower client is asking not to disclose an issue to
Landbay Partners. What do I do in this conflict situation?
When a solicitor is acting for both
Landbay Partners and borrower there is potential for conflicts
to arise. You owe duties to both clients. All information received by
you from your client is confidential and cannot be disclosed without
the client’s consent. In the situation you find yourself in if the
purchaser will not consent to the information being passed on to the
lender the solicitor must cease to act for the Landbay Partners
and it may well be prudent you to cease to act for the purchaser as
well. You can not tell the Landbay Partners the reason for
termination of the retainer over and above the fact that a conflict
has arisen. The fact that you can no longer act should alert even the
most somnambulistic of lenders that something is wrong with the
borrower and/or purchase. The fact that you have disinstructed
yourself should not affect your Landbay Partners conveyancing
panel status.
My conveyancing assistant has left my firm unexpectedly.
I urgently need to prioritise making sure that charges are registered. That said, how quickly do I need to send deeds to
Landbay Partners once the charge is registered before my firm runs the risk of being suspended off the conveyancing panel for Landbay Partners?
Landbay Partners will likely expect the deeds to be sent to them within 10 days of you receiving the TID (unless their specific P2 requirements specifically state that they you are not to send them anything). Most COTs refer to complying with the Certificate of Title referred to in IB (3.7) of the SRA Code of Conduct 2011, published by the Law Society which states that you ‘will despatch to you such deeds and documents relating to the Property as you require with a list of them in the form prescribed by you within ten working days of receipt by us of the title information document from the Land Registry’ As to whether the lender will suspend your panel status this very much varies according to the lender’s own internal policies The more cases you have the more risk you face. Some lenders may take action if there records show that the deeds are outstanding for more than 3 matters. The fact is that if you keep within the time frame then you will have more chance of remaining on the
Landbay Partners conveyancing panel.
St Giles’ PI Insurance renewal form enquires if my firm had been excluded from any mortgage panels in the last year.
I just found out that the practice is no longer on the
Landbay Partners solicitor panel? Is this likely to impact my PII cover?
Your insurance brokers are your best port of call to address this question.
The chances are that on the basis that you have not been removed for
fraud or negligence reasons that there will be little or no
impact. The main reason why a firm would be removed off of a lender
panel is due to low volume of conveyancing cases although there may be
a number of criteria for Landbay Partners solicitor panel
membership. Please remember that it is always important that you
complete your insurance forms accurately.
