The Stanley conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Stanley have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my preferred Stanley lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide 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.
Will our solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Stanley.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Stanley. There are those who purchase a property in Stanley, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Stanley. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. A purchaser’s lawyers will also order an environmental search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
