The Rogiet conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Rogiet have without warning closed.

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. 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 Co-operative 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 solicitors may be able to help.
I got the keys to my flat on 11 October and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Rogiet said it will be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Rogiet particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Rogiet is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may suggest lawyers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Rogiet. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Rogiet who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Rogiet conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
