Penrith Building Society Conveyancing Panel Assistance:
What are the Penrith 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:
Firm must have minimum of 3 partners/principals and provide copy of the acting partner's practicing certificate and confirmation of professional indemnity insurance. Contact point see above.
You must also comply with the terms and conditions of your Penrith Building Society solicitor panel appointment.
Is it possible that Penrith Building Society will instruct a different solicitor on the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel for a further advance during the lifetime of a mortgage ?
The Building Society Association Mortgage Instructions applicable to a solicitor on the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel indicates that when a further advance is required for alterations or improvements to the property we will not normally instruct a member of the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel but if you are instructed the appropriate provisions of the BSA mortgage instruction must be adhered to .
Does the fact that my firm receives LENDERmonitor Alerts assist in my application to join the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel?
The criteria to join the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel is likely to be fairly detailed and is unlikely to include signing up to LENDERmonitor alerts.
What is the CLC doing to protect licensed conveyancers from being removed from lender panels?
The Council of Licensed Conveyancers has initiated discussions 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 ad hoc arrangements that can differ from lender to lender. It is likely that that the CLC have been in touch with lenders such as Penrith Building Society in recent years
I recently attended a seminar arranged via my PI broker where it was mentioned that solicitors are being sued for non-compliance with BSA Mortgage Instructions. I am on the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you tell me how many Specific Requirement changes took place by Penrith Building Society during 2013?
During this period 5 sections of the BSA Mortgage Instructions were changed by Penrith Building Society. Some changes are more important than others but as a firm on the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel you are of course obliged to comply with individual lender requirements. Locktons have recently pointed out in an article that non-compliance with lender 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: BSA requirements are not guidelines; they are the lender client’s instructions.
My PI renewal application this year contained the following question: ‘Has your Firm been asked by a lender to agree to more onerous terms and conditions than provided for in the BSA Mortgage Instructions?’ My firm is on numerous bank panels including the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel. We have Terms and Conditions of appointment which we have to follow. Do I disclose these 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 Penrith Building Society conveyancing appointment (or other terms for other lenders) are ‘more onerous’ than the BSA Mortgage Instructions. 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.
What lender panels do you receive the most questions about?
BSA lenders do not come within the top 20 lenders in terms of
frequency of questions. The most popular lender panels in terms of
questions are as follows:
We are a 3-partner firm on the Penrith Building Society conveyancing panel. Do you have ideas as to how we can market our practice as conducting conveyancing in Hendon who can act for the borrower and Penrith Building Society?
