Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Leyburn?
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.
We are purchasing a property in Leyburn. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Coventry BS as we want to carry out alterations to our house in Leyburn. Do we need to choose a local Leyburn solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Coventry BS don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I am expecting a DIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Leyburn solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Leyburn solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Leyburn in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on such a premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Leyburn. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
