Please help. My Street conveyancer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toorder Street conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Street searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancer 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 comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Street conveyancing searches.

How does conveyancing in Street differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Street approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Street typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Street or who has acted in the same development.
