Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank 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 bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Sprotbrough conveyancing searches.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Sprotbrough last May yet the purchaser is Skype messaging every few hours to say his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
