Do the conveyancing lawyers that are recommend conduct auction conveyancing in Ruddington?
We know of a few niche lawyers we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Ruddington is one of the many locations in which our lawyers have offices.
It is is a decade since I bought my house in Ruddington. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Ruddington relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
The Ruddington conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Ruddington have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my family Ruddington lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What do I do now?
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 the problems encountered. 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 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 solicitors may be able to assist.

How can we tell if a Ruddington conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ruddington getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Ruddington solicitor - who is on the UBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Ruddington surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Will my lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Ruddington.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Ruddington. There are those who acquire a property in Ruddington, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Ruddington. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
