Please help. My Cuffley conveyancer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Cuffley conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Cuffley conveyancing searches.
