The Royal Tunbridge Wells conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Royal Tunbridge Wells have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family Royal Tunbridge Wells lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 Principality 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 assist.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Royal Tunbridge Wells I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Royal Tunbridge Wells in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Been searching for a property lawyer for freehold sale conveyancing in Royal Tunbridge Wells. I'm selling, uncomplicated no mortgage to discharge, no hurry, currently vacant.

Considering it’s a sale only, £500 + VAT is likely to be about the best for sale conveyancing in Royal Tunbridge Wells.
