Some advice if I may. My Barnoldswick lawyer is assuring me that he has toconduct Barnoldswick conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. These Barnoldswick checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your lawyer 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 Barnoldswick conveyancing searches.
My husband and I wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Barnoldswick with a loan from Nottingham Building Society.We have a Barnoldswick conveyancing solicitor but Nottingham Building Society says his firm is not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Barnoldswick. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Barnoldswick?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
