Accord Mortgages Conveyancing Panel Information

The CML do not retain duplicates of P2 conditions pre-December 2010. We would advise that you contact Accord Mortgages directly.

We only know of two or three banks that operate a separate conveyancing panel where the mortgage advance is over a certain threshold. You should nevertheless check directly with Accord Mortgages. At one stage HSBC would only allow Sole practitioners to act for them where the mortgage was below £150,000. We are not sure if HSBC still operate such a condition. In your case it is best to check with Accord Mortgages

With lenders and solicitors working so closely with one another it is surprising that there has not been greater demand for the introduction of a bit of transparency regarding not just the figures for the Accord Mortgages conveyancing panel but for all lender panels

In the circumstances please explain on the form what steps you have taken to find out the reasons behind cancellation of your Accord Mortgages panel status. In particular please provide details if you have received communications from the lender. E.G. before revocation of your panel membership did you receive any letters or calls from the lender advising you as to their reasons?

You should communicate with Accord Mortgages to obtain standard documents. The The Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook contains a specific section for banks to establish who to contact to obtain standard documents.
