In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold propertyin Nayland for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Nayland?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the costs for searches. A solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.
The Nayland conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Nayland have without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my preferred Nayland lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 Kent Reliance 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 assist.
I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Nayland for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Nayland conveyancing specialists.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Nayland I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Nayland in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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 lawyer regarding this matter.
