Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Walworth?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Walworth but how do I know who's good?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Walworth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Walworth. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Walworth can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Certain works call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Walworth. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
