I recently attended a seminar arranged via my PI broker where it was mentioned that solicitors are being sued for non-compliance with BSA Mortgage Instructions. I am on the Chesham Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you tell me how many Specific Requirement changes took place by Chesham Building Society during 2013?
During this period 0 sections of the BSA Mortgage Instructions were changed by Chesham Building Society. Some changes are more important than others but as a firm on the Chesham Building Society conveyancing panel you are of course obliged to comply with individual lender requirements. Locktons have recently pointed out in an article that non-compliance with lender requirements account for a number of high value claims, and it is therefore important to be aware of any particularly onerous terms that an individual lender may impose.
Remember: BSA requirements are not guidelines; they are the lender client’s instructions.
