When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Low Moor and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Low Moor you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Low Moor)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
The Low Moor conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Low Moor have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my preferred Low Moor lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 solicitors should be in a position to help.
Can you point me to a directory of Bank of Ireland panel solicitors in Low Moor on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Low Moor lawyer on the Bank of Ireland please make the most of our tool.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Low Moor. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Low Moor solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I'm selling a bungalow in Low Moor. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
