What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Radcliffe on Trent?

First, 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 am helping my aunt sell her property in Radcliffe on Trent. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?

Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments remained a compulsory component of moving property. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Radcliffe on Trent conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Radcliffe on Trent assessors

Can I be sure that the Radcliffe on Trent conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Radcliffe on Trent seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Radcliffe on Trent solicitor on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Radcliffe on Trent

It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Radcliffe on Trent conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Radcliffe on Trent. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
