Sainsbury's Bank Conveyancing Panel Information

The CML do not keep data sets of the Part 2's pre-December 2010. We would advise that you make a request of Sainsbury's Bank directly.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders is not a regulator and therefore do not advise on grievances against lenders. You can of course contact Lexsure to see if we can assist.

The criteria to join the Sainsbury's Bank conveyancing panel is likely to be fairly detailed and is unlikely to include signing up to LENDERmonitor alerts.

We only know of two or three lenders that operate a distinct conveyancing panel where the mortgage advance is over a certain threshold. You should nevertheless check directly with Sainsbury's Bank. At one stage HSBC would only allow Sole practitioners to act for them where the mortgage was below £150,000. We are not sure if HSBC still operate such a condition. In your case it is best to check with Sainsbury's Bank

In the circumstances please explain on the application what steps you have taken to discover the reasons behind cancellation of your Sainsbury's Bank panel membership. In particular please provide details if you have received communications from the lender. E.G. before revocation of your panel membership did you receive any letters or calls from the lender advising you as to their reasons?
