The Ryhall conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Ryhall have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Ryhall lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What do I do now?
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 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 Lloyds 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 should be in a position to help.
We had selected solicitors based in Ryhall on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional charge for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Ryhall conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I currently have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Ryhall. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform TSB?
TSB must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.
My offer was accepted on a house in Ryhall on 16/9/2024, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
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 Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

The benefit of a high street Ryhall conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Ryhall know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job.
