The Bamburgh conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Bamburgh have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my preferred Bamburgh lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
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 will need to 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 solicitors may be able to assist.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Bamburgh , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Bamburgh conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bamburgh registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bamburgh is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Bamburgh are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bamburgh you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bamburgh 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 residence.
