You can find hundreds of solicitors advertising theoretically looks to be very low prices.

Some advice if I may. My Rendlesham conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Rendlesham conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?
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 conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Rendlesham conveyancing searches.
My lawyer in Rendlesham is not listed on the Birmingham Midshires Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Birmingham Midshires panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

I am expecting a AIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Rendlesham solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Rendlesham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Rendlesham bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Rendlesham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
