My family lawyer has sent a quote for £1200 for fixed fee conveyancing in Rushden. I’m hoping to downsize from a Georgian property for £150,000. This appears too much. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Rushden?

The Rushden conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Rushden have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my family Rushden lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. 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 reasons beyond your control. 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 Lloyds 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 assist.
Just bought a detached house in Rushden , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Rushden conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Rushden registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Being a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my flat in Rushden. Due to redundancy and other issues I fell behind with remittance. The freeholders agreed a settlement schedule but there remains about £1750 currently outstanding.
I want to sell and I am panicking this could jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the arrears first. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?
It would be wise to check with the property lawyer conducting your Rushden conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the arrears to be transferred to the buyers. The final price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then discharge the arrears after completion of the sale.
