The Bromham conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Bromham have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Bromham lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What do I do now?
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 reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would 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 Lloyds 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 should be in a position to assist.

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Bromham conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Bromham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
The lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Bromham do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
