Some advice if I may. My Barrow In Furness lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toorder Barrow In Furness conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner 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 requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Barrow In Furness conveyancing searches.

Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Barrow In Furness will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of changes or need the permission of a 3rd party.

My solicitor has informed me that lack of building regulations insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Barrow In Furness conveyancing?

I have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Barrow In Furness. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.

Where copies can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.
