The Lifton conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Lifton have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my family Lifton lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches.

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them 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 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.

As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £475,000 flat in Lifton next Thursday. The managing agents has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Lifton?

Lifton conveyancing on leasehold flats usually involves the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Lifton, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Lifton with a long lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2096

With just 71 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures 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. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Me and mywife and I are in the market for an affordable conveyancing lawyer in Lifton to purchase a house. I I am fearful of by bill escalating out of control but with various Lifton conveyancing solicitors to pick from...who's the best?
