I was advised yesterday by my IFA that my Tidworth property lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Tidworth lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Tidworth conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tidworth?
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.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Tidworth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Tidworth conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Tidworth. Having lived in Tidworth for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I used Stirling Law several years past for my conveyancing in Tidworth. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?
