We are due to complete on the purchase of a house in Eaton Bray but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Principality approved list is required to inform Principality of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Eaton Bray.
When will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Eaton Bray and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Eaton Bray you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Eaton Bray)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
The Eaton Bray conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Eaton Bray have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my previous Eaton Bray lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 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 lawyers should be in a position to help.
