Investec Solicitor Panel: Recently Asked Questions

Are Investec Conveyancing panel solicitors obliged to disclose incentives?

Investec’s answer to this question can be found at section 6.4.4 of their CML Part 2 requirements

Is there a standard appeals process to prevent solicitors from being unfairly removed them from lender conveyancing panels?

We have come across many solicitors who feel they have been removed from lenders’ panels without an explanation or a good reason. It is highly unlikely, given that lenders have distanced themselves from creating a standardised appeals process for brokers, that an appeals process will be introduced for lawyers. Commenting on the call by brokers to have a standardised process the CML said’ “While we understand that some lenders do have an appeals process, it would not be appropriate for a trade body such as the CML to seek to be prescriptive about such a process.” Some lenders do of course set out an appeals policy. The Law Society does have information on it’s site that may be of assistance.

Are the Council of Licensed Conveyancers taking any action to ensure that licensed conveyancers remain on lender conveyancing panels?

As is the case with the Law Society the CLC has entered dialogue with banks and their representative bodies to see whether and how the risks that lenders wish to mitigate could be addressed through the regulatory framework rather than via ad hoc arrangements that can differ from lender to lender. We expect that that the CLC have been in touch with lenders such as Investec as well as the CML.

I have read a number of legal articles recently about firms being sued for non-compliance with CML PII obligations . I am on the Investec conveyancing panel can you tell me how Part 2 changes took place by Investec during 2013?

During 2013, 5 sections of the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook P2 were changed by Investec. Some changes are more important than others but as a firm on the Investec conveyancing panel you are of course obliged to comply with individual lender requirements, as set out in Part II of the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. Locktons have recently pointed out in an article that non-compliance with Part 2 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: CML requirements are not guidelines; they are the lender client’s instructions.

Should Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation secure my firm’s acceptance on to lenders conveyancing panels?

CQS accreditation gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a prerequisite for firms wishing to join their panels. Some Lenders now use CQS as the starting point for Panel approval as is the case with Santander.
