Having sold my house in Seaton Sluice last May but our buyer keeps whats apping daily to say their solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Seaton Sluice?
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.

How does conveyancing in Seaton Sluice differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Seaton Sluice approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Seaton Sluice usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Seaton Sluice or who has acted in the same development.
