Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Olney?
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 for a fee.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Olney and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to commercial lessees, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term.

I purchased a property in Olney last 15/5/2023 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it can take one year to complete the registration formalities. I have spoken with the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
