Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Southwark?
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 Southwark differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Southwark approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Southwark tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Southwark or who has acted in the same development.
We are a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Southwark. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A solicitor would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and get the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.
