Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wellington

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out apartment in Wellington by 15/5/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

It is unwise to provide notice for your tenancy unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners side, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim towards

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wellington?

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 at a cost.
