My IFA has asked me for my Ferryhill solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Ferryhill office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Ferryhill conveyancer about this?. Most Ferryhill conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Can the conveyancing practitioners identified through your search tool execute auction conveyancing in Ferryhill?
We know of a number of auction solicitors we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Ferryhill is just one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers cover.
The Ferryhill conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Ferryhill have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my preferred Ferryhill lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 Skipton 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 help.
