A loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom garden flat is to be issued by the end of next week. Could you put forward a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Hornsey?

You have arrived at the wrong place to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Hornsey. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies offering low cost conveyancing in Hornsey. At best, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you spending a lot in additional fees and still not receive the service expected.

We note that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Hornsey?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Hornsey.

The Hornsey conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Hornsey have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Hornsey lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away 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 Coventry BS 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 may be able to assist.

What can a local search tell me concerning the house we're purchasing in Hornsey?

Hornsey conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Hornsey conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search should provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Hornsey for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
