My husband and I are acquiring a new build apartment in Low Fell and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I have no desire to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
The Low Fell conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Low Fell have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my preferred Low Fell lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 should 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 lawyers should be in a position to help.
