Having sold my house in Tilehurst last October but the buyer keeps e-mailing me complaining that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer is committed to forward the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Tilehurst.
The Tilehurst conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Tilehurst have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my previous Tilehurst lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society 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 should be in a position to assist.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Tilehurst. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender UBS be concerned?
Given that your lender is UBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Tilehurst.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Tilehurst I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tilehurst suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
