Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burnham

I can't travel far from Burnham. What is the rationale as to why all Burnham solicitors aren't included on all bank panels?

Mortgage Companies tend to impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that the firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some lenders made a decision to limit the number of firms they use to act for them. You should note that lenders have no liability for the accuracy of service supplied by any Burnham lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are differing views concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms should have claim to remain on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their speciality?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I am purchasing a property in Burnham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Burnham.
