I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Abbots Langley. Almost all the flats are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Abbots Langley?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a loan, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Abbots Langley conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, 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 demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Abbots Langley.

My fiance and I wish to acquire a newbuild apartment in Abbots Langley with a residential mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We have a Abbots Langley conveyancing solicitor but The Royal Bank of Scotland advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
