Nedbank Conveyancing Panel Sample Enquires to our Call Center from members of the public

A solicitor my fiance and I had intended to instruct on a purchase said she would charge more if my lender is due to their unusual legal requirements. Am I likely to be frustrated using Nedbank? Any comments will be appreciated
Nedbank 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 Nedbank conveyancing panel. If they are not, this does add further risk of delay as Nedbank will appoint their own solicitors to look after their interest.
Our solicitor has discovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the Nedbank conveyancing panel he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or Nedbank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and Nedbank are the client. A precondition to being on the Nedbank approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on Nedbank). The CML Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects will the lease so that Nedbank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected . Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
I note that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Nedbank conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for my own conveyancing?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nedbank conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to the any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint.
The solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Manchester has suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Nedbank conveyancing panel and my previous lawyer was not. I gave them a cheque for £150 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nedbank conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Nedbank as we wish to carry out alterations or improvements our home. Do we need to appoint a solicitor on the Nedbank conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nedbank do not ordinarily 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 Nedbank panel
Nedbank have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on house has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure these solicitors are on the lenders panel). Call up Nedbank or your broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Nedbank will tell you what documents they want. Nedbank will instruct a valuer. The valuer will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about week to get a mortgage offer. Nedbank will issue the offer to you and your lawyer. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing.
