Please help. My Comberton conveyancer is assuring me that she is duty bound toapply for Comberton conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my conveyancer correct?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank 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 Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Comberton conveyancing searches.
My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Comberton with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland.We would like to retain our Comberton conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Scotland advised that he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.
