We are soon to exchange buying a house in Finningley but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Bank of Ireland are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancer that is on a Bank of Ireland approved list is duty bound to advise Bank of Ireland of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the reduction to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Finningley.
We are buying a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Finningley who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Finningley.
The Finningley conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Finningley have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my family Finningley lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately 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 Kent Reliance 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 may be able to help.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Finningley prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a loan on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Finningley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Finningley especially if they are familiar with such properties in Finningley.
Can you refer me to a good Finningley conveyancer for purchasing an apartment? A work colleague recommended one but their estimate was £1150 for a 250k property. I think thats high. The lender will be Santander.
