The Little Bromwich conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Little Bromwich have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the RBS conveyancing panel and my family Little Bromwich lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?
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. Most sellers would 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 RBS 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.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Little Bromwich conveyancing practitioners were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander completed the survey? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Little Bromwich. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Little Bromwich agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Little Bromwich. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Little Bromwich conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the RBS approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Little Bromwich.
What does commercial conveyancing in Little Bromwich cover?

What can I expect to pay for conveyancing in Little Bromwich?
Almost all Little Bromwich conveyancing firms will agree to a set fee. In the event that further work become due during the transaction your conveyancer must disclose to you in writing of any extra costs for such work immediately it becomes apparent.

We would recommend that you obtain various conveyancers to send you an estimate.
