The Millwall conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Millwall have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my preferred Millwall lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them 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 will need to 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 lawyers should be in a position to help.
I bought my flat on 7 April and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Millwall advises it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Millwall uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Millwall is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. 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 communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Millwall is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Millwall are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Millwall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Millwall may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
