Please help. My conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty-bound to apply for a Local Authority search stemming from the fact that the firm are on the Together Personal Finance approved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Together Personal Finance Solicitor panel in advance of the completion date?
The first thing to point out is that, 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.
