The Seaton Delaval conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Seaton Delaval have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my preferred Seaton Delaval lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?

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. 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 Kent Reliance 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.

Are there frequently found deficiencies that you come across in leases for Seaton Delaval properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Seaton Delaval is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the property

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Chelsea Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Seaton Delaval, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Seaton Delaval with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2077

With just 52 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
