Please help. My Nantyglo solicitor is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Nantyglo conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Nantyglo conveyancing searches.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Nantyglo what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Nantyglo conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
