Solicitors may therefore be placed in the difficult position of having to rely on second- or third-hand assurances as to the status of a lease and whether it is protected from the liability to pay for remediation.

It is an awkward situation to be in and unfortunately this does seem to be a ‘loophole’ that perhaps the government did not intend or foresee.” The decision to introduce another set of conveyancing instructions will meet some criticism from solicitors and conveyancers as unnecessary and a cause of confusion among practitioners. The BSA understands the concerns practitioners may have; however, in the development of the new instructions it has endeavoured to ensure that there is minimal disruption.The consultant solicitor also pointed out that, should one sell their flat to a buyer that requires a mortgage and the lender requires that the lease be extended, the incoming buyer would immediately lose the leaseholder protection anyway. This is seriously affecting shared ownership flats where affordability for lease extensions is a concern. Inconsistencies with the LPE1 The question is, what exactly is causing conveyancers to halt leasehold transactions? ‘Onerous’ Part 2s These instructions relate to new shared equity lending only and are in addition to the Society’s edition of the BSA Mortgage Instructions. For additional instructions relating to shared ownership lending, please see the Society’s ‘Further Instructions to Solicitors – Shared Ownership’. Remember to consider ancillary costs (i.e. costs other than "pure" cladding costs, such as waking watch, sprinklers, balconies);

The Building Societies Association (BSA) will be introducing a new set of mortgage instructions on 1 January 2010. These instructions aim to ensure all BSA members benefit from a complete standard set of conveyancing instructions, which they may not otherwise have. It prevents the need for individual lenders introducing separate instructions for themselves. Another issue pointed out by conveyancers is that there are “a lot of inconsistencies” with the LPE1 leasehold property enquiries form. For example, some questions ask about the 18m height whereas others ask about the 11m height, which it is suggested may cause confusion between EWS1 and the BSA. The Law Society also haven’t yet added in a space for “Responsible Person” to be named on the form. Fire safety

Where the Society is prepared to lend under the Government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan Scheme, the arrangement for the equity loan must be through either a Registered Housing Association, Registered Social Landlord or through a Government or Local Authority approved and funded scheme. Individual lender SRs are also more clearly set out, making them easier to find and understand. The BSA has made efforts to ensure that SRs are presented in a uniform way and adopt common language to help users. On 14 February 2022 the dwelling was the tenant’s only or principal home, or the tenant owned no more than three dwellings in total (whether as leaseholder or freeholder) Milner said insurers “will naturally be concerned” that the BSA could expose conveyancers to greater risk, though this is yet to materialise. In the meantime, he said firms should take a “precautionary approach” to leaseholder work, especially in transactions affected by the BSA: Any future change in the value of the equity in the property (excluding any increase the direct result of home improvements carried out by the borrower), on a disposal or sale, will be shared between the borrower and the equity sharing lender in the relative percentages, the equity sharing lenders rights being secured by the terms of the second charge.

Aullybocus pointed out that, should anything go wrong, conveyancers will get the blame. The professional indemnity insurance (PII) consequences of this need no introduction. a) Giving the Lender not less than 28 days’ notice in writing of their intention to commence proceedings; and Firms should remain prudent in documenting all advice given to the client. The old adage of ‘if it’s not written down, it didn’t happen’ very much applies in these scenarios.”Scouts BSA Handbook is the official handbook of Scouts BSA, published by the Boy Scouts of America. It is a descendant publication of Baden-Powell's original handbook, Scouting for Boys, which has been the basis for Scout handbooks in many countries, with some variations to the text of the book depending on each country's codes and customs. If a solicitor cannot obtain the information needed to satisfy CML’s requirements, then the solicitor cannot discharge their duty to the lender and will need to withdraw from the retainer. Clients should be warned up front about such a possibility in engagement letters. Although an awkward issue to broach, it is far better to be open with clients about this possibility than to proceed regardless and risk a claim by the buyer and/or lender if/when a property turns out not to be protected by the BSA.
