Hinckley and Rugby Solicitor Panel: Recently Asked Questions
Being on the Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing panel how long am I obliged to keep hold of the complete conveyancing file?
The Council of Mortgage Lender requirements of
Hinckley and Rugby are silent on this. Most mortgage companies address the question of file retention via their Terms of panel appointment where they generally provide that for evidential purposes, the firm must keep the file for a minimum six years from the date of the mortgage. Data imagining is normally
suitable compliance with this requirement. Many lenders point out in
that it is the practice of some fraudsters to demand the conveyancing
file on completion in order to destroy evidence that may later be
used against them. It is therefore important to retain these
documents to protect Hinckley and Rugby’s interest. To be
absolutely sure of Hinckley and Rugby requirements in this regard
please check the Terms and Conditions of Hinckley and Rugby’s
conveyancing panel membership.

My practice have never been on the
Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing panel as well other banks.
My clients, who are getting a mortgage with Hinckley and Rugby wish use my firms conveyancing services even though I am not on the
Hinckley and Rugby panel. Is it fine for me to use a firm down the road to act for
Hinckley and Rugby on mortgage aspect of the conveyancing?
You need to be careful here as what you are suggesting may not be acceptable to the mortgage company.
It is possible that you (as a non-panel firm) or the mortgage applicant are not at liberty instruct a panel firm of your choice. An increasing amount of lenders are making it clear to their panel firms that where a non-panel member firm is instructed by one of their mortgage applicants, the lender must appoint a panel firm to carry out its instructions and to liaise with the borrower's conveyancing firm.
You also need to make the costs implications and potential for delay very clear to your client.
I noticed the following question on my PI renewal form this year ‘Has your Firm been asked by a lender to agree to more onerous terms and conditions than provided for in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook?’ My firm is on the majority of lender panels including the
Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing panel. We have Terms and Conditions of appointment which we are duty bound to comply with. Should I reference these Terms ?
The concern here is if you are expect to enter into ‘more onerous’ conditions that than the Handbook obligations.
You have to try and take an objective view as to whether the Terms relating to the
Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing appointment (or other terms for other lenders) are ‘more onerous’ than the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Conditions. Depending on the Terms you may need to provide details on your renewal form. If you are in any doubt please call your broker to discuss before completing the answer.

I recently became aware that the firm is no longer on the
Hinckley and Rugby conveyancing panel? Is this likely to impact my PII cover?
Your insurance brokers are your best port of call to address this question.
The chances are that on the basis that you have not been removed for
fraud or negligence reasons that there will be little or no
impact. The main reason why a firm would be removed off of a lender
panel is due to low volume of conveyancing cases although there may be
a number of criteria for Hinckley and Rugby solicitor panel
membership. Please remember that it is always important that you
complete your insurance forms accurately.
