The Collier Row conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Collier Row have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family Collier Row lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 Leeds Building Society 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.
Just acquired a terraced house in Collier Row , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Collier Row conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Collier Row registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Collier Row I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Collier Row in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Collier Row. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Collier Row - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can I apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Collier Row conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
