We opted for a Holywell based firm for my conveyancing in Holywell last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I noteI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to choose an internet firm promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Holywell?

I do hope you can help me. My Holywell lawyer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toconduct Holywell conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Holywell conveyancing searches.
