The Northumberland Heath conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Northumberland Heath have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a firm on the UBS conveyancing panel and my family Northumberland Heath lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation 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 UBS 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 tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Northumberland Heath which have about fifty years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 76 years.
We are in the middle of buying a house in Northumberland Heath. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on the marketability of the property?
Northumberland Heath conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a significant impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
