Please help. My Bedwas conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Bedwas conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is my solicitor correct?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your lawyer 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 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 Bedwas conveyancing searches.

Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Bedwas conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Bedwas is amongst the numerous areas where the solicitors we list are are approved Yorkshire Building Society.
