Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Isleworth?
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 moved into my apartment on 16 September and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Isleworth expressed confidence that it will be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Isleworth uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Isleworth registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
