Can you help? My Hadleigh solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toapply for Hadleigh conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hadleigh conveyancing searches.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Hadleigh last July but our buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours complaining that their solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Hadleigh. Do we need to choose a high street Hadleigh solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Coventry BS would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS panel.
