Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Burroughs, The?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.

The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Burroughs, The.
About to purchase apartment in Burroughs, The. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

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 Burroughs, The property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Burroughs, The. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address.

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease.

You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
