I do hope you can help me. My Cannock lawyer is advising me that he has toconduct Cannock conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Is my lawyer correct?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Cannock conveyancing searches.
The Cannock conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Cannock have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Cannock lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

My husband and I are acquiring a first floor flat in Cannock. At the time of instructing our lawyer, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser called today to advise that they don't appear to be on the Aldermore approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a different conveyancer that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Aldermore selecting their own approved lawyer.
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to fulfill. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should call Aldermore to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Cannock lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancer into the mix.
