Since 1 January 2009, over 60 of the UK’s mortgage lenders have tightened their legal requirements for Conveyancing Lawyers . The various changes are published by The Council of Mortgage Lenders (“CML”) via their website from which the CML Lenders’ Handbook can be viewed. The Lenders’ Handbook provides comprehensive instructions for conveyancers (for example, solicitors and licensed conveyancers) acting on behalf of lenders in residential conveyancing transactions. There is a Lenders’ Handbook for each legal jurisdiction in the UK.
