Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hilsea costs more?
The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Hilsea is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold residence. This is due to the additional work necessary in corresponding with the landlord and managing agents to obtain information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been cleared and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
The Hilsea conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Hilsea have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Hilsea lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Lloyds 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.

I am buying a property in Hilsea. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Hilsea agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Hilsea. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Hilsea conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hilsea is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hilsea are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hilsea you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hilsea may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
