Can you vouch for a The Mortgage Works allowed Brentwood conveyancing solicitor finish our home move within 10 days? Am I best advised to go for a local Brentwood practice or an internet comparison site?

The Brentwood conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Brentwood have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my preferred Brentwood lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 Santander 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 assist.
We are planning to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Brentwood. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only happen when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Brentwood or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Brentwood.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Brentwood. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Brentwood is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Brentwood?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Brentwood. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Given that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a house in Brentwood I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thetransaction before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Brentwood.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Brentwood should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
