I am buying a house for cash in Bosham. I have been residing for the last dozen years in Bosham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Bosham conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will likely be be of importance to your future buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still throw up unexpected search results.

The Bosham conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Bosham have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my family Bosham 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 straight away 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 Yorkshire BS 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 may be able to assist.

- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bosham can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. A minority of Bosham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is below 80 years.

If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
