I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Crook Log. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Crook Log. Almost all the flats have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Crook Log?
You are taking a significant risk in refusing to carrying out Crook Log conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would absolutely advise in the strongest possible terms that your solicitor conducts them. Where timings and driving down costs are top of your issues you should discuss with your solicitor about the option of search insurance
