The Deepcar conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Deepcar have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family Deepcar lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Leeds Building Society 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.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as TSB, do Deepcar conveyancing practitioners incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being problematic. The Deepcar solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Deepcar has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Bank of Ireland or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate forms. Bank of Ireland will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Deepcar.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Deepcar 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Deepcar is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Deepcar are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Deepcar you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Deepcar 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 property.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Deepcar. I've chance upon a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
