Beverley Building Society Conveyancing Panel Information:

What are the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel arrangements?
Unlike the CML the Building Society Mortgage Instructions deal with this. Section A.12 states ‘In order to act on our behalf your firm or company must be a member of our conveyancing panel provided we are a society that operates one – see specific requirements for details of our arrangements. The Special Requirements state:

No conveyancing panel, but must contact Graham Carter (see A.10)

You must also comply with the terms and conditions of your Beverley Building Society solicitor panel appointment.

Can a practice submit a complaint to the BSA about being removed excluded suspended from the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel?
The BSA is not a regulator and therefore do not advise on complaints against lenders. You can of course contact us to see if we can help.
Does the fact that my firm subscribes to LENDERmonitor Alerts assist in my application to join the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel?
The requirements to join the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel is likely to be fairly detailed and is unlikely to include signing up to LENDERmonitor alerts.
Are there conditions,outside the BSA Mortgage Instructions, that a firm should be aware of when on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel?
In order to be on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel solicitors have to complete an application form and agree Terms and Conditions. A sample of 5 conditions that we see amongst many lenders Terms (but not necessarily Beverley Building Society) are as follows:
  • That any deeds you borrow from us in connection with the personal mortgage of a partner or director at your firm must be requested by a partner or director other than the partner or director concerned and the transaction must be handled by that other partner or director. If you are a sole practitioner and require the loan of deeds in connection with your own mortgage, you must nominate a different firm on our panel to request the deeds and handle the transaction.
  • To keep us informed of the reasons for any delay in your being able to send the title deeds and documents we require to us within 3 months of completion or evidence of proof of registration within that period. (We will send reminders if the deeds have not been received but will not acknowledge receipt of deeds.)
  • You have the consent of all borrowers to apply for the deeds, before making any request for deeds. We will accept your request for deeds on the understanding that you have obtained such consent. If this is not the case then you should advise our Deeds Services Department in writing when you make your request
  • To carry out our instructions with reasonable care and skill, ensuring that all employees carrying out mortgage work on our behalf are qualified and competent to do so
  • To be responsible for the reconstitution of the title deeds (whether the title is registered or unregistered, at your own cost), where any deeds in your possession, or were last known to be in your possession, go missing.
I have read a number of legal articles recently about firms being sued for non-compliance with BSA Mortgage Instructions. I am on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you tell me how many Specific Requirement changes took place by Beverley Building Society during 2013?
During this period 18 sections of the BSA Mortgage Instructions were changed by Beverley Building Society. Some changes are more important than others but as a firm on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel you are of course obliged to comply with individual lender requirements. Locktons have recently pointed out in an article that non-compliance with lender requirements account for a number of high value claims, and it is therefore important to be aware of any particularly onerous terms that an individual lender may impose.

Remember: BSA requirements are not guidelines; they are the lender client’s instructions.

My firm is on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel. I am dealing with Beverley Building Society mortgage on a purchase. My borrower client is asking not to disclose an issue to Beverley Building Society. What do I do in this conflict situation?
When a solicitor is acting for both Beverley Building Society 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 your situation, if the purchaser will not consent to the information being passed on to the lender, the solicitor must cease to act for Beverley Building Society and it may well be prudent for you to cease to act for the purchaser as well. You must not inform Beverley Building Society of 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 Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel status.

What lender panels do you receive the most questions about?
BSA lenders do not come within the top 20 lenders in terms of frequency of questions. The most popular lender panels in terms of questions are as follows:
I am a partner in a CQS firm on the Beverley Building Society conveyancing panel. How can we advertise our practice as carrying out conveyancing in Hendon who can act for the borrower and Beverley Building Society?
