What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Burroughs, The?
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 have agreed to purchase a house in Burroughs, The. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Aldermore your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Burroughs, The.
Planning on purchasing a house in Burroughs, The. 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 HSBC 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 Burroughs, The conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Burroughs, The benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
