We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Moor Park?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Moor Park.
The Moor Park conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Moor Park have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my family Moor Park lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham 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 should be in a position to assist.
I can see plenty of information on this site about conveyancing in Moor Park but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Moor Park
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Moor Park conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Moor Park on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further charge for handling the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Nationwide but by your Moor Park property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
What does a local search inform me concerning the house we're purchasing in Moor Park?
Moor Park conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for example Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Moor Park conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search will supply information 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 thirteen subject sections.
The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Moor Park 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Moor Park. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Moor Park who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Moor Park conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
