My husband and I are planning to purchase a property in Woore and have instructed a Woore conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Yorkshire Building Society have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Woore lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Woore solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Woore. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Woore. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Woore conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Woore should provide you some practical advice here.
