I'm buying a bungalow in Brantham. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
