The Crawley Down conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Crawley Down have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the UBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Crawley Down lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will 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 UBS 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 had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Crawley Down conveyancing lawyers were appointed. How long does it take for Co-operative to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative completed the survey? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Crawley Down concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying my first flat in Crawley Down with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

At last I have had an offer on an maisonette in Crawley Down accepted, the vendor does however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, although it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Crawley Down. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is usual to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Crawley Down conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Crawley Down.
