Willretaining a Townhill conveyancing lawyer make my purchase more efficient?
In the main conveyancing practitioners in your location will benefit from good relationships with your local authority, which can assist with your Townhill conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will need to carry out.

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented property in Townhill by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Santander Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Townhill?
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 at a cost.

I was advised by two or three local property agents in Townhill to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
