The Ombersley conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Ombersley have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my family Ombersley lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will 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 Yorkshire BS 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 help.
I got the keys to my house on 14 July and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Ombersley said it would be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Ombersley particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ombersley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Ombersley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Many Ombersley leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for the upkeep of the building levied on behalf of the landlord. Where you acquire the property you will have to meet this amount, usually quarterly during the year. This may differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. In all probability there will be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a significant figure, say about £50-£100 but you should to check it because on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. Its a good idea to find out as much as you can concerning the company managing the building as they can either make life much easier or much more difficult. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters like the cleanliness of the common parts.
