We note that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Crawcrook and Ryton?

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Lloyds Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Crawcrook and Ryton?

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.

We have utilised the various comparison tools and the results are from all across the country. Is it critical to have a Crawcrook and Ryton conveyancer local to the potential property? We are content to do everything over the web, but I guess at some stage we will need to attend the conveyancer's office to sign documents?

The property lawyer does not need to be in Crawcrook and Ryton, but choosing local means that you have the option to attend their offices if required, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary.
