I'm remortgaging a house in Washwood Heath. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
