The Hale Barns conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Hale Barns have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my preferred Hale Barns lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 Bank of Ireland 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 should be in a position to help.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Hale Barns I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hale Barns in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I own a leasehold flat in Hale Barns. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have heard that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?
Hale Barns residential long term leases are for a fixed term - normally ninety nine years when they commenced. However many appartments in Hale Barns were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years left to run. This may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To maximise your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Please note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
