Are the Clayton-le-Moors conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the UBS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by UBS?
Clayton-le-Moors conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the UBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors?
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 at a cost.
I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Clayton-le-Moors is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Clayton-le-Moors are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clayton-le-Moors you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clayton-le-Moors may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
