We opted for a high street firm for our conveyancing in Clarbeston Road yesterday. Reviewing the fine print it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line solicitor practice promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Clarbeston Road?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Clarbeston Road conveyancing search fees.
My wife and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Clarbeston Road with Lloyds. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Lloyds had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
The Clarbeston Road conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Clarbeston Road have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my family Clarbeston Road lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
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. Hopefully they will 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 HSBC 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 assist.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing and Godiva Mortgages Ltd mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Clarbeston Road who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Clarbeston Road conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
