Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pewsey

The Pewsey conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Pewsey have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the UBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Pewsey lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 should 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 assist.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Pewsey conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Pewsey conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Pewsey conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be helpful:

    How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? How many lease extensions have they conducted in Pewsey in the last twenty four months?

Leasehold Conveyancing in Pewsey - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    Does this lease have more than 80 years unexpired? For many Pewsey leaseholds the cost for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Pewsey ask leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works. If a Pewsey lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with the length of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are eligible to extend the lease.
