Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barrow upon Humber

My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Barrow upon Humber and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

The conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Barrow upon Humber is more expensive?

The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Barrow upon Humber is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of extra work required in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to collate the information about whether the rent and service fee have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

The Barrow upon Humber conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Barrow upon Humber have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my preferred Barrow upon Humber lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away 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 Kent Reliance 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.

I was pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Barrow upon Humber to find a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above a competitor’s?

We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
