Please help. My Bolsover solicitor is informing me me that she is duty bound toconduct Bolsover conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. These Bolsover searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bolsover conveyancing searches.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bolsover. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should e-mail the lawyer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can get in touch with Clydesdale who may be able to help.

I am buying a new build house in Bolsover with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with Virgin Money. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
