The Southwell conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Southwell have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my preferred Southwell lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Skipton 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 help.

We are due to move home in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Southwell. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only happen once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Southwell or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Southwell.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Clydesdale are being difficult. The Southwell solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Southwell. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Southwell conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Southwell I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Southwell for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
