The Little Bromwich conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Little Bromwich have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my preferred Little Bromwich lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What should be my next steps?
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 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 Lloyds 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 solicitors may be able to help.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Little Bromwich I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Little Bromwich in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a house in Little Bromwich I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We have been advised by numerous estate agents to expect up to two months for Little Bromwich conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only received to my solicitor yesterday so now does it countdown?
Don't rely on moving on a set date until contracts are exchanged. Regardless of the promises the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your lender provides don't count on them. More stress is caused to home movers by unfulfilled promises than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in Little Bromwich.
