Please help. My Baildon solicitor is informing me me that he has toapply for Baildon conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. These Baildon checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Baildon conveyancing searches.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Baildon?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Baildon and elsewhere in West Yorkshire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially your bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Baildon is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Baildon conveyancing specialists.

I need to switch lawyers as my Baildon lawyer is not on the bank's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?
In the event that you have not formally instructed a conveyancer to do anything for you and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Baildon that you're considering.
