I'm buying a house in Canford Heath. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
