CML Handbook Archive: Historical Lender Instructions

Looking for the CML Lenders’ Handbook instructions that applied to an earlier purchase or remortgage? The Handbook is now published under the UK Finance name, but today’s wording may differ from the requirements relevant to your transaction.

The Lexsure Lender Archive provides access to historical lender-specific requirements. Search by lender, transaction date and issue to help investigate an earlier file, complaint or professional negligence allegation.

Need the CML instructions that applied then?

A current Handbook search may not answer a question about an earlier transaction. Establish what the lender’s recorded requirements said at the relevant time.

Search the Lexsure Lender Archive by lender, transaction date and issue. Consider the historical wording alongside the mortgage offer, specific instructions and conveyancing file.
