The property market in Rawcliffe is hotting up. What can be done to accelerate the conveyancing process?

In the event that the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted otherhomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Rawcliffe conveyancing firm. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is said that 18% of Rawcliffe conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors.

The Rawcliffe conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Rawcliffe have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my family Rawcliffe lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 HSBC 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.

is it true that all Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Rawcliffe. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Rawcliffe.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Rawcliffe is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Rawcliffe I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rawcliffe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
