What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Corbridge?
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 am helping my sister sell her house in Corbridge. Will the conveyancer commission an EPC or it is for the seller to see to?

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Corbridge. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Corbridge solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Corbridge. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My fiance and I may need to rent out our Corbridge basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Corbridge conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Corbridge conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
