Some advice if I may. My Long Stratton conveyancer is assuring me that he has toconduct Long Stratton conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company 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 follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Long Stratton conveyancing searches.

It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
