Having been recommended your web site we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Hartlepool found on your site but have come across alternative estimates on the internet seem less pricey – how come?
There are a variety of conveyancers offering what appear to be cut price. Our recommendation is to think twice about how important this transaction is to you that want to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the conveyancing. Some hide fees deep into the terms of business. The solicitors that we list for conveyancing in Hartlepool neverbehave this way.
My husband and I are buying a new build flat in Hartlepool and my lawyer is telling me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I don't want to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
The Hartlepool conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Hartlepool have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel and my previous Hartlepool lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know 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 RBS 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 assist.
