The Splott conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Splott have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Splott lawyer was not. I paid them money 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. Hopefully they will 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 should be in a position to help.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Splott I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Splott suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Splott
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Splott conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
