I'm purchasing a bungalow in Buckhurst Hill. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
