My financial adviser requires my Desford law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Desford branch but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Desford conveyancer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
My conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Desford. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Various web forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of stalling in Desford conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Desford.
Are there any apps to assist me to identify a Desford solicitor on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel? I have a car and am happy to travel upto 10kilometers to meet the conveyancer.

Been reading online that Desford solicitors are more expensive than licensed conveyancers in Desford to use when buying a house. Am I better off using a conveyancer or a solicitor if I am purchasing a house in Desford.
When it comes to conveyancing in Desford the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
