Does my mortgage solicitor need to be on the Saffron Building Society Panel?

Saffron Building Society needs to ensure that your instructed property lawyer sits as an approved Saffron Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor, as solicitors are obliged to ensure Saffron Building Society’s security is protected. This includes compliance with the instructions of the Council for Mortgage Lenders handbook. If your solicitor is not on the panel then you may suffer delays in the process and consequently be subject to additional conveyancing solicitor fees. This is because your new solicitor will not be able to act on the lender’s behalf, as well as yours. Resultantly, all matters will need to go through both the lender’s legal team and your property solicitor’s.

Are you looking for a transfer of equity with Saffron Building Society?

If you are looking to add or remove an owner to or from a property you will need to obtain permission from your lender. This means that if you have a Saffron Building Society mortgage for your house you will need to inform Saffron Building Society, as they are a party concerned in the transfer of equity. Saffron Building Society’s consent is therefore essential since they will want to assess the income/rent affordability with the creditworthiness of the person who the property is being transferred to.

Do I need consent from Saffron Building Society if I am Splitting the Title of my Property? – Deed of Release

If you are splitting the title of your freehold property or creating new leases in your property, you will need the consent of the lender, Saffron Building Society. This is because Saffron Building Society will want to ensure that the property value is not undermined so as to adversely affect their security. They will, therefore, require their approved conveyancing panel lawyer to deal with the conveyancing on their behalf. The conveyancing panel solicitor will then arrange for Saffron Building Society to seal a Deed of Release. This legal document ultimately releases the lenders charge over the part of the property being removed from the title.
