I was informed today by my lender that my Tadley lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
Your first step should be to contact your Tadley lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Tadley. Almost all the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Tadley?
If you getting a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Tadley conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Tadley.

We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
