Having sold my house in Aberdovey last September but our buyer keeps telephoning me to moan that her conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your disposal your lawyer is obliged to forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also evidence that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Aberdovey.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Aberdovey?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Aberdovey I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aberdovey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
