Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pevensey

We chose a local firm for our conveyancing in Pevensey recently. Upon checking the small print I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or choose a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Pevensey?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise the cases that fail to complete. Please beware that these schemes rarely protect you from expenditure such your Pevensey conveyancing search expenses.

My son-in-law is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Pevensey with a mortgage from Nottingham. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

The Pevensey conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Pevensey have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my preferred Pevensey lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them 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 HSBC 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.
