LBG -September Stamp Duty Cut Off

The next deadline for Stamp Duty removal will apply on September 30th 2021. As a result we anticipate a large increase in queries and completion related activity for the September end period, we are keen to ensure customer expectations are satisfied and met so we will apply a deadline date of 23rd September for COT submission to allow for completion by the end of September month end. Key reminders; • Certificates of Title should be submitted by the 23rd September to ensure completion by September month end. • Requests for Completion (COTs) should be submitted via Lender Exchange for Halifax/Lloyds and Birmingham Midshires offered after 10th July. BM cases offered prior to this date should follow paper COT submission. • Please refer to Lender Exchange for progress updates on COT completion. • 5 Days’ Notice is required for all completion requests, requests submitted inside this 5 day period will be processed on a best endeavours basis • Do not submit a request for funds if you have outstanding matters that still require attention, issues need resolved prior to COT submission. • Please submit any pre-completions queries at your earliest convenience to avoid any delays towards the end of the month. • During busy periods we see an increase in volumes of returned mortgage advance payments. Please be aware that we require a minimum of 48 hours for funds to be re-released once returned, please consider if the initial completion dates are viable before submitting your COT. • Solicitors should carefully check the lender handbook for what account to return funds to, we are seeing an increased number of scenarios where they are sending funds to the wrong place (e.g. sending to old A/ account which is now closed, or sending 60/ funds back to the 200 account details), please ensure these are returned to the correct account to avoid delays.
