Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the Darlington Building Society panel she or he must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for Darlington Building Society. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that Darlington Building Society will go ahead your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.
