My mortgage broker requires my Garstang law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Garstang branch but they cant find it on their system.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Clydesdale Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Garstang?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
What does a local search tell me concerning the house we're purchasing in Garstang?
Garstang conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for instance PSG The local search is essential in every Garstang conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search will provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.
