We are due to exchange buying a house in Withernsea but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however UBS are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Your solicitor being on the UBS conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to UBS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Withernsea.
The Withernsea conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Withernsea have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my previous Withernsea lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore 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 assist.
I bought my flat on 1 April and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Withernsea expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Withernsea uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Withernsea registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
