Our advice is to think long and hard as to how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks concerning the quality of the legal work.

Can you help? My Purfleet lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toorder Purfleet conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is my lawyer right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your conveyancer 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 bank’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 Purfleet conveyancing searches.
