Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Yorkshire BS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont?
The first thing to point out is that, 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 for a fee.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian house in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Gerrards Cross and Chalfont conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
