Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Willenhall who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or do I seek out a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you you were to look around you could reduce the fees marginally by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were satisfied with the service the firm offered you maylive to rue opting for an an untested solicitor. Remember to enquire that the firm can represent Accord Mortgages Ltd.

My wife and I are refinancing our penthouse in Willenhall with Kent Reliance. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his entitlement to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Kent Reliance had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
The Willenhall conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Willenhall have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my previous Willenhall lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS 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 may be able to assist.
