My IFA has requested my Llandeilo law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have called my local Llandeilo office but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried speaking to your Llandeilo conveyancing practitioner about this?. They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
The Llandeilo conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Llandeilo have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my family Llandeilo lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
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 Clydesdale 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.
is it true that all Llandeilo solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
How can we know in advance if a Llandeilo conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Llandeilo obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Llandeilo conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Kent Reliance?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance conducted the valuation? Have you informed Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Llandeilo I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llandeilo for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
