Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a house in Woodhouse Eaves but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Skipton will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancer that is on a Skipton conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves.
The Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Woodhouse Eaves have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my preferred Woodhouse Eaves lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander 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 should be in a position to help.
is it true that all Woodhouse Eaves solicitor practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be governed by the CLC.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Woodhouse Eaves. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Woodhouse Eaves solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Yorkshire BS do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS list.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The Woodhouse Eaves solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Woodhouse Eaves I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Woodhouse Eaves for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
