Post completion of your house sale your solicitor should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Edith Weston?
First, 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.

How does conveyancing in Edith Weston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Edith Weston come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Edith Weston usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Edith Weston or who has acted in the same development.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
