Please help. My Beaworthy conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Beaworthy conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Beaworthy conveyancing searches.

As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters.
