I am selling my house in Clowne. Will the lawyer have to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
is it true that all Clowne solicitor firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Clowne. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Clowne building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Clowne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
