I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Poundbury. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
About to purchase flat in Poundbury. 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 Skipton 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 Poundbury lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Poundbury accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Poundbury. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Poundbury conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Poundbury.
