What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Clydesdale Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton?
First, 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 at a cost.

HSBC do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
About to purchase house in Lymm and Warburton.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Lymm and Warburton solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Lymm and Warburton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

As far as conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties.

Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
