Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Harpenden?
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 for a fee.

Just acquired a detached house in Harpenden , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Harpenden conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Harpenden is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country.
