We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Holloway who is on the Co-operative approved panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Holloway.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Lloyds Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Holloway?
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 for a fee.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Holloway in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may not grant a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Holloway. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Holloway to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
We are 18 days into a residential purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Holloway. I am am extremely disappointed with the level of service. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been sent? If so you will need to make them aware of the new solicitor and get the loan are re-sent. Your conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating charges and complications. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.

Me and my wife are disposing of a Holloway bungalow left to us ten years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, see no reason not to undertake the legal work. The buyer's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their building society will not allow us to do our own conveyancing as they require the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Lending instructions to solicitors from all CML members state that If the vendor does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are willing to move forward.
