I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Stow on the Wold. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
The Stow on the Wold conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Stow on the Wold have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my previous Stow on the Wold lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will 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 Clydesdale 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.
I am buying a new build apartment in Stow on the Wold. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

I have been recommended by a few estate agents in Stow on the Wold to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over another?
We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Stow on the Wold. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Stow on the Wold - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
