Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Egremont

The Egremont conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Egremont have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my family Egremont lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 HSBC 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 should be in a position to assist.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Egremont. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Egremont?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Egremont. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Egremont. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this requirement principally exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

Can you point me to a directory of Leeds Building Society panel conveyancers in Egremont on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings viewable over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Egremont solicitor on the Leeds Building Society please use our tool.

Should our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Egremont.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Egremont. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Egremont, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Egremont. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be conducted.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Egremont I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Egremont for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
