Swansea Building Society Solicitor Panel: Recently Asked Questions

I recently attended a seminar arranged via my PI broker where it was mentioned that solicitors are being sued for non-compliance with CML PII obligations . I am on the Swansea Building Society conveyancing panel can you tell me how Part 2 changes took place by Swansea Building Society during 2013?

During 2013, 22 sections of the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook P2 were changed by Swansea Building Society. Some changes are more important than others but as a firm on the Swansea Building Society conveyancing panel you are of course obliged to comply with individual lender requirements, as set out in Part II of the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. Locktons have recently pointed out in an article that non-compliance with Part 2 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: CML requirements are not guidelines; they are the lender client’s instructions.

My conveyancing assistant has left my firm on short notice. I urgently need to prioritise making sure that charges are registered. That said, how quickly do I need to send deeds to Swansea Building Society once the charge is registered before my firm runs the risk of being suspended off the conveyancing panel for Swansea Building Society?

Swansea Building Society will likely expect the deeds to be sent to them within 10 days of you receiving the TID (unless their specific P2 requirements specifically state that they you are not to send them anything). Most COTs refer to complying with the Certificate of Title referred to in IB (3.7) of the SRA Code of Conduct 2011, published by the Law Society which states that you ‘will despatch to you such deeds and documents relating to the Property as you require with a list of them in the form prescribed by you within ten working days of receipt by us of the title information document from the Land Registry’ As to whether the lender will suspend your panel status this very much varies according to the lender’s own internal policies The more cases you have the more risk you face. Some lenders may take action if there records show that the deeds are outstanding for more than 3 matters. The fact is that if you keep within the time frame then you will have more chance of remaining on the Swansea Building Society conveyancing panel.
