The introduction of the CML Lenders’ Handbook made it a lot easier for lenders to access conveyancing files. The files are jointly owned by the borrower and lender client. The availability of the full file to the lender is further reinforced with signed declarations by the borrower in most mortgage application forms.
Professional Insurers quietly anticipate lenders suffering losses as a result of increased repossessions and a corresponding surge in the number of requests for conveyancers to hand over their files for inspection.
This 30 minute webinar, targeted at COLPs and Heads of Department, focuses on the primary triggers for a lender requesting files from law firms.
Areas covered include:
- High risk areas of Handbook breaches
- Lessons from history
- Insurers view on common areas of claim
- Best practice behaviours to reduce the chances of a file review
