Please help. My Crook Log conveyancer is assuring me that she is duty bound toconduct Crook Log conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner 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 specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Crook Log conveyancing searches.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Crook Log. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Crook Log. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Crook Log. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this provision chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
