The Dereham conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Dereham have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my preferred Dereham lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society 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 assist.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Dereham what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Dereham conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
is it true that all Dereham solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Dereham has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Contact UBS or your broker and complete any appropriate documentation. UBS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to get a mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dereham.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when purchasing a residence in Dereham? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Dereham?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Dereham to continue to suggest a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
