The Shotley Bridge conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Shotley Bridge have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my previous Shotley Bridge lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 Bank of Ireland 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.
I am assisting my mother sell her flat in Shotley Bridge. Will the solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a compulsory element of selling a property. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally arrange. Where you are using a Shotley Bridge conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local providers
My solicitor has informed me that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Shotley Bridge?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Shotley Bridge on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nottingham but by your Shotley Bridge solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
