Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Turnham Green is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Turnham Green and elsewhere usually necessitates more work compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord about the service of required notices, obtaining current service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.
The Turnham Green conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Turnham Green have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my preferred Turnham Green 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 immediately 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham 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.

I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Turnham Green. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as normal given that all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
