AssumingI was to buy a straightforward homein Crick for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Crick?
Any savings you would gain will be limited to the Crick conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be significant.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Crick?
The first thing to point out is that, 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.
