Post by The Law Society

We are delighted that UK Finance has listened to the concerns that we and other UK law societies shared. Plans to charge conveyancers an annual fee to use the Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook have now been abandoned. Our president Mark Evans said, “We commend UK Finance for reacting swiftly to the strength of opposition against the proposal to introduce a charge.” “We will now work with UK Finance to support conveyancers as the new system is implemented on 2 March.”
