The Green Street Green conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Green Street Green have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family Green Street Green lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 Principality 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 should be in a position to help.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Green Street Green. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this provision is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

We previously selected solicitors based in Green Street Green on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your Green Street Green solicitor. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Green Street Green. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Green Street Green with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My cousin has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Green Street Green. Should I use them?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Green Street Green conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to find a conveyancing lawyer is to have recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
