I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Twickenham Park for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

How does conveyancing in Twickenham Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Twickenham Park come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Twickenham Park tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Twickenham Park or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Twickenham Park is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Twickenham Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Twickenham Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Twickenham Park may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Last July I purchased a leasehold house in Twickenham Park. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
