Some advice if I may. My Mexborough and Swinton lawyer is advising me that he has toconduct Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing searches.
