JPMorgan Conveyancing Panel : Questions and Answers from members of the public

The solicitor my fiance and I had intended to instruct on a purchase said he would charge more if my lender is because of their difficult processes! Will I regret using JPMorgan? Any comments will be appreciated
JPMorgan conveyancing requirements for their panel are no better or no more complicated than most lenders. It is the case now the CML Handbook, the "bible" used by solicitors to establish lender requirements, is different for each lender. It is not clear if your lawyer is on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. If they are not, this does add further risk of delay as JPMorgan will appoint their own solicitors to look after their interest.
We are only a couple days away from an exchange and my parents having sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender JPMorgan. I am advised that, being on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel and acting on their behalf he must inform JPMorgan if the balance of the mortgage advance is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank about my parent’s contribution when I applied for the home loan so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with JPMorgan to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to JPMorgan if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Birmingham who is on the JPMorgan approved. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for JPMorgan . We don’t recommend any particular firm.
I am in the process of mortgaging my home does my lawyer need to be on the JPMorgan Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on JPMorgan conveyancing panel, but JPMorgan would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Hi, thinking about buying a house off my mate. Assuming we can agree a figure, what’s the best way to move forward? I hope to get a mortgage with JPMorgan. Is there anyway to cut out the solicitors to save us both money? My dad reckons back in the day he did a lot of it himself, just went into the land registry office and providing them with the info they needed himself
If you are getting a mortgage with JPMorgan involved you will need to appoint a solicitor on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. We would not encourage you to both use the same solicitors' firm. There are clear conflict of interest issues and it's not going to make a huge difference to the speed of the overall process. So as not to hold things us you should pass on your solicitors details to JPMorgan. Feel free to use our search tool to look for a licensed conveyancer or solicitor on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel.
We were going to get a DIP from JPMorgan this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).Do the JPMorgan recommend a solicitor on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently
You will need to appoint solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and the JPMorgan through the process.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension . I have called into my local branch JPMorgan on numerous occasions and told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My solicitor - who is on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told not they would not lend in accordance with their CML Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for JPMorgan. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that JPMorgan will go ahead your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask JPMorgan to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the remaining number of years left on the lease.
