We note that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Timperley?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Timperley.
The Timperley conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Timperley have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the TSB conveyancing panel and my previous Timperley lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation 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. 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 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 assist.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Timperley.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Timperley. There are those who acquire a property in Timperley, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Timperley. The standard information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s solicitors should also commission an enviro report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Timperley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Timperley conveyancing specialists.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Timperley and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial lessees, granting the right to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Timperley
