The Crawcrook conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Crawcrook have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my preferred Crawcrook lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 Nationwide 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 should be in a position to help.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when purchasing a residence in Crawcrook? or Apparently there is an ancient law that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Crawcrook?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Crawcrook to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Crawcrook?
