View Our Guide to Fixed Charge Receiverships
Click hereOriginally a creation of the Law of Property Act 1925 (s101), the powers afforded to a Law of Property Act (“LPA”) Receiver are limited by modern standards and an appointment is usually made under the lender’s fixed charge (mortgage) as well as under the powers afforded by 1925 Act.
The appointment will normally relate to real property but can also relate to items of plant and equipment.
In addition to a formal process there are other exit routes available to secured lenders where we can advise and assist:
- Assisted Voluntary Sales
- Mortgagee in Possession
- Mortgagee not in Possession
- Assistance to Lenders seeking possession
The Fixed Charge Receivership process is not complicated and creates distance between the mortgagee and the mortgagor. A Receiver acts as agent for the mortgagor (borrower) and whilst the principal obligations are to the mortgagee (lender), the Receiver has a duty of care to the borrower for proper conduct and to obtain best price at the point of sale.
We are fully aware of the FCA requirement surrounding the fair treatment of customers (TCF) and work with our secured lender clients in adhering to this requirement in each property recovery assignment.
In what are likely to be very challenging times for lenders and their customers alike, it is crucial that experienced professionals are used to not only achieve the best financial outcome but also to manage the reputational risks that come with enforcement action.
