Having sold my house in Tadworth last May yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to say their solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Tadworth.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the TSB Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tadworth?
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 for a fee.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of delay in Tadworth conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Tadworth.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Tadworth is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Tadworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tadworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tadworth may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I'm purchasing a bungalow in Tadworth. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
