Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Piccadilly?
First, 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.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Piccadilly in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on such a home.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Piccadilly I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor about myhome move prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Piccadilly should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Should I go with a Piccadilly conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities but her office is a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Piccadilly conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unknown Piccadilly conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Piccadilly based.
