Some advice if I may. My Ealing solicitor is assuring me that she is duty bound toorder Ealing conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. These Ealing checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.
