Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Whyteleafe?
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 for a fee.

Some months ago I was told by my bank that their panel lawyers work on no completion no fee basis for conveyancing in Whyteleafe. I had a purchase fall through and now the conveyancers want search fees! They are claiming that the fees are seperate!
By offering "no sale no fee" Whyteleafe conveyancing practices are writing off their charges for any work conducted. We should point out that this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme.
