Please help. My South Brent solicitor is informing me me that he has toconduct South Brent conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing 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 lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out South Brent conveyancing searches.
