Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Acrefair. Is there a reason why all Acrefair are not on all lender panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011.

Having sold my house in Acrefair last May but our buyer keeps texting every few hours complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
After completion of your house sale your conveyancer should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where appropriate, your lawyer should also evidence that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Acrefair.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Acrefair?
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 at a cost.
