We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Llanrhystud but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Nationwide are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Your lawyer being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Nationwide of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the reduction to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nationwide and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Llanrhystud.

The Llanrhystud conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Llanrhystud have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my previous Llanrhystud lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
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 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide 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 help.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Llanrhystud which have about forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Llanrhystud. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? What is the service charge and ground rent on the apartment? If a Llanrhystud lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Llanrhystudlease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the property for a couple of years before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension.
