IfI were to buy a simple residential housein West Bridgford for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in West Bridgford?

Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the costs for searches. The property lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it will not be a lot.

We are purchasing a purpose built apartment in West Bridgford with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We like our West Bridgford conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
