We selected a local firm for our conveyancing in Nailsworth yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms it is apparent thatwe are liable for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or choose a web based firm promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Nailsworth?

Do bear in mind that these promotions tend not to protect you from expenditure e.g. Nailsworth conveyancing search fees.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the HSBC Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Nailsworth?
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 at a cost.
