I was informed today by my estate agent that my Parkstone solicitor is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Parkstone lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
My partner and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Parkstone and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your lawyer is obliged to clarify with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
The Parkstone conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Parkstone have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my family Parkstone lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Aldermore 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.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Parkstone , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Parkstone conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration is addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Parkstone is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
