The Cowfold conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Cowfold have without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my preferred Cowfold lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 Aldermore 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Cowfold I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cowfold suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Cowfold. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as you normally would as all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
