My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Kensal Green but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Skipton are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your property lawyer being on the Skipton conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Skipton of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

The Kensal Green conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Kensal Green have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my preferred Kensal Green lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Leeds Building Society 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 should be in a position to assist.

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase.
