It has come to my attention via my financial adviser that my West Ham lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?
You need to call your West Ham conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a West Ham conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
The West Ham conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in West Ham have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred West Ham lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will 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 RBS 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 assist.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in West Ham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Some leases for properties in West Ham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can I apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a West Ham conveyancing firm to represent me?
