Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Standish

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Standish?

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.

I have utilised the different rating tools and the quotes are from all over the England and Wales. Is it important to have a Standish conveyancing practitioner local to the prospective house? I am willing to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to visit the conveyancer's office to sign contracts?

The conveyancing practitioner does not have to be in Standish, but opting for local means that you can visit their offices if you need to, by way of example, if a signature is needed urgently.
