I do hope you can assist me. My Ruislip Gardens solicitor is advising me that he has toorder Ruislip Gardens conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any say here?
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 property lawyer 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 requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Ruislip Gardens conveyancing searches.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Ruislip Gardens and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ruislip Gardens. Having lived in Ruislip Gardens for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
