As someone not used to conveyancing in Eden Park what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Eden Park
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Eden Park and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially a bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Eden Park is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

The Eden Park conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Eden Park have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my preferred Eden Park lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
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 the problems encountered. 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 Lloyds 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.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

We don’t give any commission for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
