The Broadclyst conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Broadclyst have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my previous Broadclyst lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 Skipton 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.
We are buying a flat in Broadclyst. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to deposit funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Broadclyst. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy assessments remained a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not something that law firms normally arrange. If you are instructing a Broadclyst conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local providers
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Broadclyst. The Broadclyst property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I require expedited conveyancing in Broadclyst as I have a deadline to exchange contracts inside 4 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would advise that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Broadclyst the following are examples of what can arise and adversely impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Broadclyst. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Broadclyst
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
My wife and I have selected a Broadclyst conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be worried or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. They should be governed by the SRA, who have specific rules in place on monies sitting on client account.
