Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the RBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cornwall?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. 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 at a cost.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Cornwall is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Cornwall are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cornwall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cornwall may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I have been recommended by a couple of local estate agents in Cornwall to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Should I use a Cornwall conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing but they are based over three hundred miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Cornwall conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that should trump using an unfamiliar Cornwall conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
