Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bradley Stoke is more expensive?
Bradley Stoke leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
The Bradley Stoke conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bradley Stoke have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my preferred Bradley Stoke lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money 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 help.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Bradley Stoke house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Bradley Stoke.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Two months into purchasing a residence in Bradley Stoke. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our Halifax valuation?
Bradley Stoke conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a material impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
