I do hope you can assist me. My Hawes lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Hawes conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCapproved lawyer panel. These Hawes searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer 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 conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hawes conveyancing searches.
My Solicitor in Hawes has never been on on the Alliance & Leicester Approved Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Alliance & Leicester panel?

- Get an alternative practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are Alliance & Leicester approved.
- Try to convince your Alliance & Leicester solicitor to try to join the Alliance & Leicester panel
