Mansfield Building Society Conveyancing Panel Assistance:
We do not have our own separate conveyancing panel. Conveyancers must be on the Law Society/Licensed conveyancers website. The Society does not allow Licensed Conveyancers or solicitors who are a sole trader to act, insisting on a minimum of 2 partners. The practicing certificates for all partners at the office are obtained, and any new requests to join the panel will initially require the completion of a conveyancing panel questionnaire. The validity of a firm is verified and checks are made to identify any disciplinary issues against the individual/firm, and evidence of PII cover is also obtained which must be for a minimum of £2m per claim (£3m for relevant recognised bodies or relevant licensed bodies).. A.13. The BSA Mortgage Instructions do not affect any responsibilities that you have to us under the general law or any practice rule or guidance issued by your professional body from time to time.
You must also comply with the terms and conditions of your Mansfield Building Society solicitor panel appointment.
Please note that most ‘less usual searches’ (as described in the Law Society’s Conveyancing Handbook) are not optional as far as Mansfield Building Society are concerned if they are ‘appropriate’. Most lenders will not require environmental searches (you should Check the Mansfield Building Society Specific Requirements of BSA Handbook to be sure), but you are obliged to explain risks and availability to the client.
Ground stability, Plansearch,flood searches as well as the searches listed in the question are optional – but only to the extent that you have allowed the borrower client to make an informed choice. Regardless of whether there is a mortgage, If you have not advised the client that these (and other) searches are available and what risks they cover, then you will be liable if the client suffers loss through not conducting one.
