The Rhosneigr conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Rhosneigr have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Rhosneigr lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 RBS 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.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Rhosneigr. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rhosneigr?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Rhosneigr. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to lenders such as Nationwide, do Rhosneigr solicitors face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Rhosneigr. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide 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 Nationwide your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nationwide where a lease does not meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Rhosneigr.
