Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Barrowden?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. 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 for a fee.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Barrowden which have about fifty years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Barrowden, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Barrowden with a long lease are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2095
With 71 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a house in Barrowden which will be marketed. The bungalow has never been registered at HMLR and I'm advised that some buyers solicitors will insist that it is in place before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems sensible to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
