My friend's sister is a conveyancing practitioner. I am hopeful that I can be offered mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure should I be expecting for conveyancing in Kingsbridge?
You should compare pricing. Do use our search tool on this page. The prices do contrast greatly but the service one can expect differ between property lawyers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Kingsbridge?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Kingsbridge your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Generally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the sale price then this will be needed shortly prior to exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed should be transferred a few days prior to the completion date.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Kingsbridge?
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.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Kingsbridge and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to commercial tenants, granting the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Kingsbridge being on the bank conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the lender approved panel?

We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
