What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Lloyds Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Eastwood?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

The primary upside of using a high street Eastwood conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Eastwood know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you.

We have an offer in principle from Barnsley Building Society who have advised that they will loan up to £300k. When do we need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? Eastwood is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to instruct a property lawyer now requesting that they create a file for you. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s property lawyer to submit the draft agreement. However, do not ask your conveyancer to order searches until you have your valuation report from Barnsley Building Society and you are happy to proceed.
