Is it realistic for conveyancing in Raglan to be done within 10 days?

Where the seller is applying time constraints to complete it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have handled otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Raglan conveyancing lawyer. Second, check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that just under twenty per cent of Raglan conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being delayed by as much as 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Most Raglan conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Raglan?

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 for a fee.
