The Wendover conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Wendover have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my preferred Wendover lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
We had chosen conveyancers based in Wendover on the Santander solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate charge for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Santander but by your Wendover lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Wendover conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to send the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society completed the survey? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Wendover. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Lloyds be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Wendover.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wendover is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Wendover are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wendover 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 Wendover may determine 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 premises.
