Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Leeds Building Society Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in South East London?
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.

On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent however this should only happen when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over.

We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in South East London or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in South East London.
