Landmark Conveyancing Panel: Recently Asked Questions
Are Landmark Conveyancing panel lawyers under an obligation to disclose incentives?
Landmark’s answer to this question can be found at section 6.4.4 of their CML Part 2 requirements
my firm is on the Landmark conveyancing panel. Can I get an archived copy of a Landmark Part 2 from the CML?
The CML do not hold data sets of the Part 2's pre-December 2010. We would recommend you contact Landmark directly.
Are there conditions,outside the CML Part 2 requirements, that a firm should be aware of when on the Landmark conveyancing panel?
In order to be on the Landmark conveyancing panel solicitors have to complete an application form and agree Terms and Conditions. A sample of 5 conditions that we see amongst many lenders Terms (but not necessarily Landmark) are as follows:
- To notify us in writing of any change in your details as held on our records for example, change of address, telephone number, document exchange number email address. Notification must be given to us at least 10 days before the change will be effective.
- To keep us informed of the reasons for any delay in your being able to send the title deeds and documents we require to us within 3 months of completion or evidence of proof of registration within that period. (We will send reminders if the deeds have not been received but will not acknowledge receipt of deeds.)
- To carry out our instructions with reasonable care and skill, ensuring that all employees carrying out mortgage work on our behalf are qualified and competent to do so
- To be responsible for the reconstitution of the title deeds (whether the title is registered or unregistered, at your own cost), where any deeds in your possession, or were last known to be in your possession, go missing.
- Without prejudice to your obligation to comply in full with the Safeguards provisions in the CML Lenders’ Handbook, to report to us as soon as possible any suspicion that you have about the genuineness of any transaction in any respect.
Do banks such as
Landmark engage a separate conveyancing panel for buy to let mortgages?
The majority of lenders do not operate a specific buy to let conveyancing panel but we are hearing about a few that do. We do not know what the position is with
Landmark as at todays date. If you're about to receive instructions from a client on a buy to let purchase with a mortgage from
Landmark we suggest that you call
Landmark to check the position.
We had our Landmark panel membership revoked but we have not yet been given an explanation yet.
I am completing a CQS application form what details should I put forward?
In this situation please explain on the application what action you have taken to find out the reasons behind cancellation of your
Landmark panel membership.
In particular please provide details if you have received communications from the lender. E.G. before cessation of your panel membership did you receive any letters or calls from the lender informing you as to why they reached this decision?
My firm is listed on the
Landmark
conveyancing panel and all set to complete a purchase within the next week. My papers do not include a Mortgage Deed for the client to sign.
Who do I contact at Landmark to obtain duplicate documents?
You need to communicate with Landmark
to obtain standard documents. The CML Handbook contains an express section for banks to cite who to contact to obtain standard documents.
