Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chathill

Can you help? My Chathill lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Chathill conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chathill conveyancing searches.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Kent Reliance Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Chathill?

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.
