I am buying a maisonette in Kingsley. My Conveyancer has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Kingsley conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must use a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required if you require a loan to buy your home. They will conduct all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can instruct a Kingsley lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they can do so.
My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Kingsley and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
The property lawyer is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
The Kingsley conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Kingsley have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my previous Kingsley lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 should 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 assist.
