Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oxfordshire

I am not well enough to travel far from Oxfordshire. Can you please clarify why all Oxfordshire conveyancers are not on all bank panels?

Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders culling a number of firms off their panel of approved conveyancers .

Are all Oxfordshire Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel?

Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation 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 conveyancing solicitors.

We had appointed solicitors locally in Oxfordshire on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Oxfordshire solicitor. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

We expect to receive a OIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Oxfordshire solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Oxfordshire solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
