I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Higham Ferrers. The vast majority the properties are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Higham Ferrers?
If you getting a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Higham Ferrers conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Higham Ferrers.

My partner and I are buying a garden flat in Higham Ferrers. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. The financial adviser emailed yesterday to advise that they don't appear to be on the Nottingham approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a different property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with Nottingham appointing their own approved conveyancing practitioner.
When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to meet. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call Nottingham to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Nottingham's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Higham Ferrers solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
