The Much Wenlock conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Much Wenlock have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family Much Wenlock lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?
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 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality 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 may be able to assist.
I am purchasing a property in Much Wenlock. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Much Wenlock.
The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Much Wenlock. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
Kent Reliance must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel firm.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Much Wenlock agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Much Wenlock. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Much Wenlock conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Much Wenlock.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
