We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Peak District.
The Peak District conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Peak District have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Peak District 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 inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander 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 are buying a apartment in Peak District. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Peak District. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Peak District will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Peak District is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Peak District I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Peak District for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My husband and I are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to carry out the conveyancing in Peak District. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been issued? If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating charges and complications. So that should be your starting point.
