I would like to know the reason why all UK lawyers are not on the MPowered Mortgages Solicitor panel?
Even though it may seem unfair for MPowered Mortgages to restrict who can act for them from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that the lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel the necessary need to protect them from mortgage fraud and other illegal activities. As a result of this concern MPowered Mortgages have restricted their conveyancing panel to a manageable size. The MPowered Mortgages lawyer panel is not the most exclusive of all lenders
Our son-in-law is buying a new build apartment with a home loan from MPowered Mortgages. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document 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 MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked.
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 MPowered Mortgages conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
