I used Wolstenholmes several years ago for my conveyancing in Taverham. Now, I need the files but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?
You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Taverham of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
I'm buying a new build house in Taverham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Taverham in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Taverham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Taverham
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Taverham conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
We are contemplating choosing an online conveyancing practitioner rather than a Taverham conveyancing practice. Am I making a mistake?
Various benefits exist in being able to pop in to a local Taverham conveyancing solicitor such as
- signing documents same day
- getting one on one explanations of issues you don't understand
- the ability to raise concerns if things are not going as expected
When checking estimates, look carefully for hidden extras. The majority decent Taverham high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Many online agents appear to offer cheap fees, but have burried 'extras' in the small print.
