What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Burroughs, The?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Burroughs, The and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Burroughs, The should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Burroughs, The?
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.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being a right pain. The Burroughs, The solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
