For what reasons could a firm of solicitors be removed from the JPMorgan solicitor panel?
According to a recent survey report by the solicitors regulator three quarters of solicitor practices had been excluded from a lender panel. The top reasons in order are :
- lack of transactions
- the lawyer is a sole practitioner
- as part of the HSBC panel reduction
- regulatory contact by SRA
- accidental removal. We are not aware of the specific or common criteria for removal by JPMorgan
Our son is purchasing a house that has just been built with a home loan from JPMorgan. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested.
The Developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it.
The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the JPMorgan conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My house is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the JPMorgan 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 requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
What are the common reasons for a lender such as JPMorgan to withdraw a mortgage offer?
Lenders such as JPMorgan can withdraw their mortgage offer although this rarely happens. If JPMorgan withdraw their offer they may or may not inform you or the lawyer as to the reasons why. There are various possible reasons but here are a few examples:
- If the borrower informs JPMorgan of a change in security address
- Amendments if purchase price adjusted and the loan to value limits exceeded by this. Please note that JPMorgan conveyancing panel solicitors would be obliged to notify JPMorgan of a change in the price of the property.
- Where the lender has to take account a recent change in law
- Where the lender is on notice of a restriction or a right of pre-emption which is not at market value
- If the solicitor on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel acting for the applicant, borrower, mortgagor or guarantor cannot comply with JPMorgan ‘s instructions
Intending to buy a house with a mortgage with JPMorgan. I have received an online quote from a licensed conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that they are on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel
My ex -wife’s name is on the JPMorgan mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the JPMorgan mortgage in order to sell?
In terms of the JPMorgan mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of JPMorgan in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
