Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Grassendale is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Grassendale conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Grassendale. Now, I need my documents but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Grassendale of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
How does conveyancing in Grassendale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Grassendale contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Grassendale usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Grassendale or who has acted in the same development.
