The Skipton conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Skipton have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my preferred Skipton lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately 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 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 should be in a position to help.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of stalling in Skipton house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Skipton.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Skipton in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not issue a mortgage on such a home.
