Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Nottingham Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Llanrwst?
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 happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Llanrwst. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
is it true that all Llanrwst solicitor practices on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Planning on purchasing a house in Llanrwst. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llanrwst solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
