Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Coombe Warren?
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.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of delay in Coombe Warren house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Coombe Warren.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Coombe Warren , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Coombe Warren conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Coombe Warren registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
