My IFA has asked me for my Langport law firm’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Langport office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Langport solicitor . Most Langport law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
We note that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Langport?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Langport.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Langport?
First, 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 at a cost.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Langport 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical original deeds to establish that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
