Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Poulton Le Fylde who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or do I try and find a cheaper online conveyancer?

The Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Poulton Le Fylde have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my family Poulton Le Fylde lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 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 assist.

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Poulton Le Fylde. 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 Yorkshire BS?
Yorkshire BS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’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 Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Poulton Le Fylde. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Poulton Le Fylde lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I am selling our house in Poulton Le Fylde and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Poulton Le Fylde lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Poulton Le Fylde. We have lived in Poulton Le Fylde for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we use their recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
