I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Wembley Central. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wembley Central?
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 for a fee.
We are buying a apartment in Wembley Central. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
My solicitor has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wembley Central?
The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Is there a list of UBS panel conveyancers in Wembley Central on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible over the internet.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when acquiring a property in Wembley Central? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that means some owners of property residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Wembley Central?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Wembley Central to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I used Action Conveyancing a few years past for my conveyancing in Wembley Central. Now, I need the files however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
