The Boxmoor conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Boxmoor have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Boxmoor lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry BS 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 solicitors may be able to help.
I am aiming to move home in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Boxmoor. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only happen when the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Boxmoor or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Boxmoor.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Boxmoor conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Barclays to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays completed the survey? Have you advised Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have a mortgage with RBS for my property in Boxmoor. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform RBS?
You must advise RBS prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that RBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a RBS conveyancing panel lawyer.

I have a renovated Edwardian house in Boxmoor. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease.
