I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Dewsbury for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The benefit of a local Dewsbury conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Dewsbury know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Dewsbury conveyancing lawyer just because they are Dewsbury based.
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Dewsbury where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Dewsbury conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Plenty Dewsbury leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building levied by the landlord. Where you purchase the property you will have to meet this amount, normally quarterly throughout the year. This could differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant amount, say around £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds. What is the length of the lease? It would be sensible to find out if the the lease includes any adverse restrictions in the lease. By way of example it is fairly common in Dewsbury leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Dewsbury. If you love the propertyin Dewsbury but your dog is not allowed to make the move with you then you have a very difficult determination.
