As a FTB what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Wapping?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wapping and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Wapping is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wapping?
The first thing to point out is that, 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 for a fee.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
