In order to be on the Chesham 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 Chesham Building Society) are as follows:
- 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.)
- If you are a sole practitioner, to arrange for appropriate locum cover from our panel where necessary. Your locum must be a member of the Conveyancing panel.
- To notify us in writing of any change in your details as held on our records for example, change of address, telephone number, document exchange number email address. Notification must be given to us at least 10 days before the change will be effective.

The firm that I work for is on the Chesham Building Society conveyancing panel. I am
dealing with Chesham Building Society mortgage on a purchase. My
borrower client is asking not to disclose an issue to Chesham Building Society. What do I do in this conflict situation?
When a solicitor is acting for both Chesham 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 Chesham Building Society and it may well be prudent for you to cease to act for the purchaser as well. You must not inform Chesham 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 Chesham Building Society conveyancing panel status.
Our membership of the Chesham Building Society conveyancing panel was revoked but was reinstated on appeal, do I need to disclose this information on my CQS application?
We would recommend that you supply details of the date of removal, information on the reason for removal, date of appeal and any reason given for reinstatement. This should not adversely impact your firm’s application but gives the Law Society viability as to what has gone on.
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:
