I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Santander. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Rainham Kent. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Rainham Kent?
If you are buying a property in Rainham Kent your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this will be asked for immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
The Rainham Kent conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Rainham Kent have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my family Rainham Kent lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money 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 assist.
We are selling our property in Rainham Kent and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rainham Kent. We have lived in Rainham Kent for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
