My financial adviser says he needs my Morecambe law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Morecambe office but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your Morecambe conveyancing practitioner . Most Morecambe conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
Can you help? My Morecambe conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Morecambe conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Is my solicitor right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a 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 conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’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 Morecambe conveyancing searches.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I am a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the estate agent to handle our conveyancing in Morecambe. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A lawyer would have to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage offer been issued? If so you will need to make them aware of the new lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent.

My wife and I have instructed a Morecambe conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the FCA. Should I be worried or is that usually the case with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. They will be regulated by the SRA, who dictate specific laws covering amounts held on client account.
