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

A solicitor my fiance and I had intended to instruct on a purchase said she will levy higher legal fees if my mortgage is with LiveMore due to their difficult processes! Will I regret using LiveMore? Any comments will be appreciated
LiveMore 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 LiveMore conveyancing panel. If they are not, this does add further risk of delay as LiveMore will appoint their own solicitors to look after their interest.
Please help. My conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty-bound to order a Local Authority search as the firm are on the LiveMore conveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with LiveMore your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of LiveMore’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements last updated LiveMore. even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out a local authority search.
I am planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Manchester who is on the LiveMore solicitor. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for LiveMore . We don’t recommend any particular firm.
My lawyers in Newcastle have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with LiveMore. Is it case that being on the LiveMore conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the LiveMore Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting LiveMore directly.
Are all Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the LiveMore conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We have agreed to purchase a house.One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. LiveMore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with LiveMore your lawyer must to check the LiveMore conveyancing instructions contained in the Part of CML Handbook for LiveMore . The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to LiveMore where a lease does not meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales. The CML are developing guidance for Northern Ireland and Scotland.
I was thinking of purchasing my friend’s property. Assuming we can agree a figure, what’s the best way to proceed? I plan to obtain a mortgage with LiveMore. Is there anyway to cut out the solicitors to save on the costs? 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 LiveMore involved you will need to appoint a solicitor on the LiveMore 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 LiveMore. Feel free to use our search tool to look for a licensed conveyancer or solicitor on the LiveMore conveyancing panel.
