What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in West Bromwich?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in West Bromwich or throughout is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially your lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in West Bromwich should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in West Bromwich?

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.
