Much to our surprise we have been informed by our estate agent that my Parbold the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
Your first step should be to contact your Parbold lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Parbold conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Clydesdale Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Parbold?
The first thing to point out is that, 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.

The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
