I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Woodhouse Eaves. 95% of the flats are already sold. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves?

There are a large number of search providers delivering Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves?
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 at a cost.
