Much to our surprise we have been notified by our broker that my Kemp Town the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
You need to contact your Kemp Town lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Kemp Town conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
My god-son is purchasing a house that has just been built in Kemp Town with a mortgage from Santander. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
The Kemp Town conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Kemp Town have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Kemp Town lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation 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 Nottingham 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 assist.
