The Wilberfoss conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Wilberfoss have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my preferred Wilberfoss lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. 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. 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 Lloyds 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 due to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only take place when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Wilberfoss or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Wilberfoss.

I am purchasing a property in Wilberfoss. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Aldermore be concerned?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Wilberfoss.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Wilberfoss solicitor on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I'm buying my first flat in Wilberfoss with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
