Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Flint Mountain?

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 for a fee.

A buyer’s solicitors will also commission an environmental search. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
