The property market in Bedford Park is hotting up. What can be done to speed up the legal process?
In the event that you are under time constraints to exchange we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Bedford Park conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of Bedford Park conveyancing deals are held up or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel.

The Bedford Park conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Bedford Park have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my previous Bedford Park lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
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. 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 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 solicitors may be able to assist.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bedford Park is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bedford Park are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bedford Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedford Park 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 premises.
