Summary

HSBC now accepts Qualified Electronic Signatures meeting HM Land Registry practice guidance on mortgage deeds in England and Wales, provided the QES R Series deed template MD1600F from LMS Lender Documents is used. It has also added purchase price guidance: changes must be reported immediately, and contracts must not be exchanged nor the eCOT submitted until HSBC confirms it will proceed.
