I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Ashton in Makerfield. I have resided for the previous dozen years in Ashton in Makerfield. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

we are a couple who are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Ashton in Makerfield with a residential mortgage from National Westminster Bank.We like our Ashton in Makerfield conveyancing solicitor but National Westminster Bank says his firm is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
