Frequently asked questions relating to the LiveMore Solicitor Panel
I have been advised by my broker that I have to pay LiveMore fees if I use my own solicitor. How good are the LiveMore conveyancing panel solicitors? I dont care which law firm I use provided that they are good and reasonably priced. Are there any LiveMore conveyancers you'd recommend?
LiveMore’s conveyancing panel is pretty large so it would be advisable to check with the firms you are getting quotes from whether they are on it. You can search by postcode on the search tool on this site to find solicitors that LiveMore will allow to act for them.

What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the LiveMore Solicitor panel prior to the completion date?
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 ti 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 the 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.
Are all solicitors on the LiveMore conveyancing panel regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
