I am about to exchange buying a house in Bampton but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

The solicitor that is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to HSBC of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the reduction to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bampton.

The Bampton conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bampton have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the UBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Bampton lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 UBS 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.

Is it best to appoint a Bampton conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the legal formalities but her office is 200miles away.

The primary upside of using a local Bampton conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Bampton know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were content that must surpass using an unknown Bampton conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Bampton conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Bampton conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Bampton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in Bampton who can give a testimonial? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason?

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Bampton, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1996. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Bampton with a long lease are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2097

You have 72 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My cousin is purchasing a studio flat in Bampton. He has received a fee estimate by the conveyancing practitioner suggested by the selling agents and it came to £1156 . It was fifteen years ago since I sold and bought a house and it cost was £495. Have charges really gone up that much?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Bampton searches, land registry fees, etc)
