Examples of recent questions relating to the JPMorgan Conveyancing Panel
My husband and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in London with a mortgage from JPMorgan. We like our solicitor but JPMorgan says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the JPMorgan panel firms or keep our solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for JPMorgan
Our lawyer has discovered a problem with the lease for the property we are buying. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that as he is on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or JPMorgan?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and JPMorgan are the client. A precondition to being on the JPMorgan approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on JPMorgan). The CML Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that JPMorgan can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected . Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
