Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tufnell Park

I can't travel far from Tufnell Park. Please explain the reason why all Tufnell Park solicitors aren't included on all mortgage company panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and feel it essential to protect them from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern lenders have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tufnell Park?

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.

Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
