The Leaves Green conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Leaves Green have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my preferred Leaves Green lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. 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. Most sellers would 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 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 may be able to help.
I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Leaves Green. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Principality must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Leaves Green on 26/2/2024, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Leaves Green accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Leaves Green. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Leaves Green conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Leaves Green.
Just bought a detached house in Leaves Green , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Leaves Green conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Leaves Green registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country.

Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Leaves Green. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease.
