I am not well enough to travel far from Colerne. Can you please explain the reason why all Colerne solicitors aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in lenders purging a number of firms from their panel of approved property lawyers .
We are approaching an exchange on a property in Colerne and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
