FAQs : The Mortgage Agency Services Conveyancing Panel
I am hoping to receive a offer of a mortgage from Mortgage Agency Services. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the Mortgage Agency Services Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC
Mortgage Agency Services’s conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are due to exchange on the purchase a house but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k approx by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company Mortgage Agency Services will not agree to this. Why was Mortgage Agency Services even consulted?
Your lawyer being on the Mortgage Agency Services conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Mortgage Agency Services of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyers to disclose the reduction to Mortgage Agency Services then they would have to discontinue acting for you and Mortgage Agency Services.

I was scheduled to move into my dream home last Thursday. My solicitor is on the Mortgage Agency Services solicitors panel but has changed address 8 weeks ago and had not informed Mortgage Agency Services of their new address. Mortgage Agency Services has locked down the release of mortgage funds until such time as their systems are up to date with the correct details.
This is as unusual as it is unlucky. The majority of 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 Mortgage Agency Services branch or your mortgage broker to see if they can help.
Is there a list of Mortgage Agency Services panel solicitors on the CML Handbook Website?
No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings available online.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in month 2010 but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Mortgage Agency Services are being pedantic. The solicitor who is on the Mortgage Agency Services conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Mortgage Agency Services are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Mortgage Agency Services have a conveyancing panel of they don’t accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Mortgage Agency Services have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Mortgage Agency Services may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing correctly and safely installed. It merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My ex -wife’s name is on the Mortgage Agency Services mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the Mortgage Agency Services mortgage in order to sell?
In terms of the Mortgage Agency Services mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of Mortgage Agency Services in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
