What is a Lender Conveyancing Panel?

Banks, building societies and other mortgage lenders provide a list of mortgage solicitors who meet their strict legal requirements. This list is known as a Conveyancing Panel. Solicitors’ firms are selected by lenders, such as Scottish Building Society to ensure they can meet the highest standards of client service. Additionally, having a Conveyancing Panel helps to reduce the risk of fraud and identity theft.

We are full members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS).

It also ensures that we can satisfy regulators, lenders and insurers.

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

Scottish Building Society needs to ensure that your instructed property lawyer sits as an approved Scottish Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor, as solicitors are obliged to ensure Scottish 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 Scottish 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 Scottish Building Society mortgage for your house you will need to inform Scottish Building Society, as they are a party concerned in the transfer of equity. Scottish 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.

Can I extend the lease on my home if I have a Scottish Building Society Mortgage? – Deed of Substitution

You will need consent from your lender, Scottish Building Society if you wish to extend the lease on your property whilst you have a mortgage with them. This is to ensure that the money that Scottish Building Society has lent you is protected. Your property solicitor will be required to arrange this for you by obtaining a Deed of Substitution from Scottish Building Society. Your Scottish Building Society panel lawyer can also assist you in arranging to extend your lease through a Section 42 Notice. In order for you to carry out your lease extension, your mortgage solicitor will need to be on the Scottish Building Society conveyancing panel. Starck Uberoi’s conveyancing solicitors can help deal all the legal aspects of your lease extension if you have a mortgage with Scottish Building Society.

Do I need consent from Scottish 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, Scottish Building Society. This is because Scottish 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 Scottish 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.

Why is it important to get the right mortgage solicitor from the panel?
