Having been suggested to visit your site we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Huddersfield endorsed by you but stumbled across alternative quotes via the web look cheaper – how come?

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Huddersfield?

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.

It is not always the case and you are free to instruct whichever property lawyer you decide for your Huddersfield conveyancing. A property lawyer put forward by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the best conveyancer, they may put forward their preferred conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
