The Edith Weston conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Edith Weston have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my preferred Edith Weston lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know 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 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 solicitors may be able to assist.

Just acquired a detached house in Edith Weston , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Edith Weston conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Edith Weston registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Edith Weston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Edith Weston contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Edith Weston tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Edith Weston or who has acted in the same development.
