Finally the sale completed on my house in Euxton last March yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to moan that her lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?

If applicable, your conveyancer should also evidence that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks specific conveyancing in Euxton.

Is it the case that all Euxton solicitor firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Euxton. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Euxton.
About to purchase apartment in Euxton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Euxton conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Euxton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Euxton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage 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 owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension 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 solicitor concerning this matter.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years unexpired on my lease in Euxton. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist would be useful to try and locate and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Euxton.
