Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys?
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 at a cost.
I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, 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 Thornton Cleveleys conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Thornton Cleveleys come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Thornton Cleveleys tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Thornton Cleveleys I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Thornton Cleveleys suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Thornton Cleveleys and how can your lawyers assist?

There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated.
