Having sold my house in Kearsley last February yet the purchaser is texting me to say their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

The Kearsley conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Kearsley have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my previous Kearsley lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would 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 Barclays 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 assist.
How does conveyancing in Kearsley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kearsley approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Kearsley usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kearsley or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Kearsley prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Kearsley.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Kearsley. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
