The Wolston conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Wolston have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my preferred Wolston lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?
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 the problems encountered. 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 assist.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Wolston conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from UBS as we wish to conduct alterations to our house in Wolston. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Wolston solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
UBS would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS panel.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Wolston conveyancing practitioners are chosen. How long does it take for Virgin Money to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Virgin Money conducted the survey? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years remaining on my flat in Wolston. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Wolston.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Wolston, conveyancing having been completed in 2001. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Wolston with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
You have 57 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
