I do hope you can help me. My Farnham Common solicitor is informing me me that he has toorder Farnham Common conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML 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 CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Farnham Common conveyancing searches.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Farnham Common. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
Given that your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Farnham Common.
