I am getting a mortgage offer from Pepper Homeloans. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the Pepper Homeloans Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC
Pepper Homeloans’s approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are due to exchange on the purchase a house but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k approx by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company Pepper Homeloans will not agree to this. Why was Pepper Homeloans even consulted?
Your lawyer being on the Pepper Homeloans conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Pepper Homeloans of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyers to disclose the reduction to Pepper Homeloans then they would have to discontinue acting for you and Pepper Homeloans.

I am trying to get my ex-wife removed the mortgage deeds. Can Pepper Homeloans really tell me which solicitor I can or can not retain?
You can use any solicitor you like but Pepper Homeloans then has the right to appoint a different solicitor to act for them at your expense. It might be more cost effective and quicker to instruct a lawyer who is on the Pepper Homeloans solicitors panel
Do conveyancing lawyers on the Pepper Homeloans conveyancing panel work on a no sale no fee basis?
In the main there are no requirements by lenders for their firms to operate on a no-sale-no-fee basis. There a small number of lenders who operate a very restricted conveyancing panel managed by a third party company (often termed in the industry as a ‘gatekeeper’). That third party may impose certain conditions such as non-sale-no fee on the panel firms. If you require this as a condition of your conveyancing then you should check with the conveyancing firm that this is part of their service
How can we tell if a solicitor on the Pepper Homeloans panel is any good?
Getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension . I have telephoned Pepper Homeloans on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My solicitor - who is on the Pepper Homeloans conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told not they would not lend in accordance with their CML Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply dont know who is right
Your lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for Pepper Homeloans. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that Pepper Homeloans 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 Pepper Homeloans to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the remaining number of years left on the lease.
