Having sold my house in Long Buckby last October yet the purchaser is texting me complaining that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
After completion of your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Long Buckby.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Long Buckby?
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.

I was advised by a few estate agents in Long Buckby to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
