I was notified recently by my mortgage broker that my Fowey the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
You need to call your Fowey lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Can you help? My Fowey solicitor is assuring me that he has toconduct Fowey conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. These Fowey checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Fowey conveyancing searches.

I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Fowey for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Fowey conveyancing specialists.
