I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out flat in Buckingham by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental until you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, update to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
The Buckingham conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Buckingham have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Buckingham lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB 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 solicitors should be in a position to help.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Buckingham conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I just bought a house at auction in Buckingham. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Having exchanged you now have to instruct a conveyancing solicitor soon as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the deal. Every auction property should have a bespoke auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Buckingham. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
