Newbury Building Society Conveyancing Panel Information:
What are the Newbury Building Society conveyancing panel arrangements?
Unlike the CML the Building Society Mortgage Instructions deal with this. Section A.12 states ‘In order to act on our behalf your firm or company must be a member of our conveyancing panel provided we are a society that operates one – see specific requirements for details of our arrangements.
The Special Requirements state:
The Society operates a panel of conveyancers. Acceptance to the panel is subject to application and the following requirements:
• Firm must have at least four qualifying partners.
• Current registration with SRA / CLC.
• Professional Indemnity Insurance with minimum £2m cover.
• For solicitors, CQS accreditation
• All firms must have been practicing for a minimum of 5 years.
Firms that are set up as Alternative Business Structures are accepted if the underlying legal practice has been in existence at least 5 years and meets the above requirements.
Conveyancers that are not on the panel will be invited on receipt of a mortgage application where the client proposes them to act.
For commercial applications the lender will instruct their own solicitor (separate legal representation).
Contact Newbury Building Society’s Mortgage Underwriting Team 01635 555700, for an application.
You must also comply with the terms and conditions of your Newbury Building Society solicitor panel appointment.

I have been a qualified solicitor for approximately 30 years never having had a negligence claim and have been refused acceptance on the Newbury Building Society conveyancing panel with no explanation. Am I not entitled to know why?
Participation on the lender's panel of conveyancers is at the absolute
discretion of the the lender. The days of open panels are now long

application without giving any reason. You should check your original

JLT’s PII renewal form asks if my practice had been excluded from any bank panels in the last 12 months . I just discovered that the firm is no longer on the Newbury Building Society conveyancing panel? Will that impact my PII premium?
The best placed professionals to answer this question are your insurance brokers.
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 Newbury Building Society solicitor panel membership. Please remember that it is always important that you complete your insurance forms accurately.
