Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Normanton

We are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in South Normanton with a mortgage. We have a South Normanton conveyancer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or retain our South Normanton solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your South Normanton conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Is it possible for conveyancing in South Normanton to be finalised inside two weeks?

First, If you are under pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and insight. It is possible that they may have conducted otherhouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a South Normanton conveyancing solicitor. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of South Normanton conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Many South Normanton conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

The South Normanton conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in South Normanton have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my family South Normanton lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would 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 Clydesdale 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.

Finally our conveyancing in South Normanton is set to complete on Friday, however the vendors I am buying from wishes to move out 24 hours later at at 2pm. Do I accept such a idea?

It is not possible to complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems are not working.
