The South East London conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in South East London have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family South East London lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately 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 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 may be able to help.
I am due to move property in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in South East London. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent but this can only be done after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in South East London or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in South East London.
My lawyer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for South East London conveyancing?
The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local South East London solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your South East London postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in South East London.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
