Our grandson is purchasing a house that has just been built in Woore with a home loan from Bank of Ireland. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer 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 Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
The Woore conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Woore have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my previous Woore lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
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 should 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 lawyers may be able to help.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Woore. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Having to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must find a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are facing a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. An auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Barclays as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Woore. Do we need to choose a high street Woore solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Barclays would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays panel.
Planning on purchasing a house in Woore. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Woore conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
My husband and I are one month into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to handle our conveyancing in Woore. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added fees and complications. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors. The search tool can help you find a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Woore
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Woore. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Woore who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Woore conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I acquired a split level flat in Woore, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension?

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence.
