How up to date is your search tool for Rush Green conveyancing solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel? Do TSB send you an updated list?

The Rush Green conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Rush Green have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family Rush Green lawyer was not. I paid them £170 on account. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality 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 may be able to help.

I am helping my sister sell her house in Rush Green. Does the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was maintained a required element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Rush Green conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established Rush Green providers
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Rush Green on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further charge for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Rush Green conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rush Green is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Rush Green are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rush Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rush Green may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

We are thinking of choosing a web based conveyancer rather than a Rush Green conveyancing firm. Should I ‘stay local’?
There are advantages of having the opportunity to pop in to a local Rush Green conveyancing solicitor such as
- signing documents same day
- having face-to-face explanations of things that need explaining
- the ability to raise concerns if matters go pear-shaped
When analysing fees, look carefully for hidden extras. The majority decent Rush Green high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Often online companies appear to offer low cost prices, but have hidden 'extras' in the in the terms and conditions.
