Frequently asked questions relating to the MBS Lending Ltd Solicitor Panel
I need to swap lawyers as my lawyer is not on the MBS Lending Ltd panel of conveyancing solicitors. How easy is it to change conveyancer?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer you're considering.
Our grandson is in the process of securing a house that has just been built with a home loan from MBS Lending Ltd. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form 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 MBS Lending Ltd 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 MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am searching for conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the practices that are identified on your website are on the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel?
The law firms listed on our site have advised us that they are on the MBS Lending Ltd panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the MBS Lending Ltd panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific firm being on the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel is incorrect.
I was scheduled to complete on my flat two days ago. My lawyer’s firm is on the MBS Lending Ltd solicitors panel but has changed address in the past couple of months and had not informed MBS Lending Ltd of their new address. MBS Lending Ltd is now refusing to release my funds as the information from the solicitors isn't correct.
This is as unusual as it is unlucky. Most lender Terms of Conveyancing Panel Appointment specifically oblige the solicitor to inform the lender of an address change. Your solicitor needs to treat this with the utmost urgency. Do speak with or register your concern with the senior partner (assuming he or she is not your direct lawyer). Most lenders would be reasonable in this situation and expedite the resolution of this issue. It may be prudent to enlist the help of your local MBS Lending Ltd branch or your mortgage broker to see if they can help.
I previously instructed online conveyancers based in Birmingham who are on the MBS Lending Ltd solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate fee of £175 for dealing with the MBS Lending Ltd mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by MBS Lending Ltd?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitors can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by MBS Lending Ltd but by your lawyers. Some firms on the MBS Lending Ltd will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from MBS Lending Ltd as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our home. Do we need to appoint a solicitor on the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
MBS Lending Ltd would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they did require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the MBS Lending Ltd list
I have today made my last payment due on mortgage with MBS Lending Ltd. I assume I don't need a solicitor on the MBS Lending Ltd panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your MBS Lending Ltd mortgage they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the MBS Lending Ltd mortgage from the register. MBS Lending Ltd,and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
but are not moving to another property
where the MBS Lending Ltd has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
the MBS Lending Ltd has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your MBS Lending Ltd mortgage has been paid off.
