FAQs : The Rely Mortgages Solicitor Panel from members of the public

My Conveyancer has never been on on the Rely Mortgages Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Rely Mortgages approved list?
The most common options here are as follows:
  1. Complete the purchase with your existing lawyers but Rely Mortgages will need to instruct a lawyer on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel. This will result in additional cost and potential delay.
  2. Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel.
  3. Urge your lawyer to apply to join the Rely Mortgages lender panel
My lawyer has identified a difference between the assumptions in Rely Mortgages’s valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that as he is on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach right?
A precondition to being on the Rely Mortgages approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on Rely Mortgages) which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
I am looking for competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be assured that all the law firms that are identified on your site are on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have advised us that they are on the Rely Mortgages panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the Rely Mortgages panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific firm being on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel is not accurate.
My conveyancers in Manchester have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with Rely Mortgages. Is it case that being on the Rely Mortgages 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 Rely Mortgages Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting Rely Mortgages directly.
When it comes to lenders such as Rely Mortgages do solicitors have to be pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
is it true that all solicitor practices on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Rely Mortgages conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers (CLC).
Rely Mortgages 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 Rely Mortgages or your broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Rely Mortgages will tell you what documents they want. Rely Mortgages 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. Rely Mortgages 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.
