Mansfield Building Society Conveyancing Panel Information:
What are the Mansfield Building Society conveyancing panel arrangements?
Unlike the UK Finance 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:
We do not have our own separate conveyancing panel. Conveyancers must be on the Law Society/Licensed conveyancers website. The Society does not allow Licensed Conveyancers or solicitors who are a sole trader to act, insisting on a minimum of 2 partners. The practicing certificates for all partners at the office are obtained, and any new requests to join the panel will initially require the completion of a conveyancing panel questionnaire. The validity of a firm is verified and checks are made to identify any disciplinary issues against the individual/firm, and evidence of PII cover is also obtained which must be for a minimum of £2m per claim (£3m for relevant recognised bodies or relevant licensed bodies).. A.13. The BSA Mortgage Instructions do not affect any responsibilities that you have to us under the general law or any practice rule or guidance issued by your professional body from time to time.
