I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Brough for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Pre- 2008 most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Brough conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms regarding their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Brough conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Brough is amongst the many locations where the solicitors we recommend are on the panel for Coventry Building Society.
Is it the case that all Brough CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Skipton conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We had appointed solicitors located in Brough on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Barclays but by your Brough conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a DIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Brough solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Brough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
