Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Shenley?
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.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Shenley what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Shenley conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors.

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required part of selling a house.

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Shenley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause primarily exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Shenley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

We have been advised by various estate agents to expect 6-8 weeks for Shenley conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The property information was only sent from the vendors conveyancing practitioner a few days ago so does the time start running now?
Do not count on completing on a set date until exchange of contracts takes place. Regardless of the promises the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your mortgage broker makes don't bank on them. More stress is caused to buyers and sellers by false promises than anything else.
