If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander 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.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Daventry with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Daventry can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Daventry state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you fail to have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor in advance. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is ongoing. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. Some Daventry leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.

You have 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I purchased a flat in Daventry last 10/3/2025 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted HMLR directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?
It is your solicitor that you must contact in order to satisfy any issues which have arisen as part of the registration formalities for your Daventry property. Normal Daventry conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s solicitor that they will assist in resolving any registration raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
