The Northallerton conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Northallerton have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Northallerton lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB 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.

We expect to receive a DIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Northallerton solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Northallerton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Northallerton conveyancer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Lloyds mortgage has been paid off.

I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Northallerton. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nationwide?

Your original mortgage agreement with Nationwide will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’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 Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Northallerton and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Northallerton is one of our numerous areas of the UK in which the firms we work with have offices

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Northallerton

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Northallerton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
