The Hemsworth conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Hemsworth have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my preferred Hemsworth lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 Principality 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 may be able to assist.

Will my solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Hemsworth.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Hemsworth. There are those who acquire a house in Hemsworth, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Hemsworth. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to find out if the premises has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Hemsworth

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Hemsworth conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Hemsworth ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Hemsworth conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Hemsworth do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

I purchased a garden flat in Hemsworth, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2009. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Hemsworth with a long lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2092

With just 67 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range 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 investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have finally had an offer on an flat in Hemsworth accepted, the vendor does nevertheless have an associated purchase. The current proprietors have submitted an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Hemsworth. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going with Lloyds?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Hemsworth conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Lloyds approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
