It has come to my attention via my broker that my Cricklewood lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cricklewood?

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.
