What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Mere?

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 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Mere is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Mere are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Mere you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mere may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Mere. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A conveyancer would have to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you must advise them of the new conveyancer and ensure the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental costs and complications. That should be your first question of the new solicitors.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Mere. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Mere - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
