Some advice if I may. My St Mellons conveyancer is assuring me that he has toconduct St Mellons conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderapproved 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 bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’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 St Mellons conveyancing searches.
