Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wem?

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.

About to purchase house in Wem. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wem conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wem is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My sealed bid on a property in Wem has been agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Wem. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Wem conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Wem.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Wem. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

I am 17 days into a freehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Wem. We are not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

A lawyer would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been issued? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the offer are re-sent. The conveyancer should be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental costs and delays. So that should be your starting point. The find a solicitor tool can help you find a lender approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Wem
