The Hope conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Hope have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Hope lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away 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 Nottingham 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 lawyers may be able to help.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Hope. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Now that you are for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property will have a bespoke legal pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer will need. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete on the on the contractual date .
We were going to get a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Hope solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hope solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Intending to buy a flat in Hope. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC 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 Hope property lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Hope I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hope for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hope. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Hope - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
