The Narberth conveyancing firm handling our Narberth conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
The Narberth conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Narberth have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my previous Narberth lawyer was not. I wrote 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 advise the vendors 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 Principality 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.

Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

I am buying a garden flat in Narberth. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents.
