Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cullercoats?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I own a leasehold flat in Cullercoats. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Cullercoats who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

Can you inform me if there are any major works in the near future that could add a premium to the service fees? Please note if it is less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the property. Check with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the property for a couple of years in order to be entitled to extend the lease. Is the freehold reversion owned jointly by the tenants?
