The West London conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in West London have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my preferred West London lawyer was not. I cut 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 inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know 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 Barclays 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.

The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in West London 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to look for all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be found, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.

I have been pointed in your direction by three or four local property agents in West London to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above another?

We don’t make any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a West London conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a West London conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with several firms including non West London conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in West London who can give a testimonial? How many lease extensions have they conducted in West London in the last year?

I am the leaseholder of a first floor flat in West London. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to arrive at the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a West London premises is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 72.39 years.

Much to my surprise my conveyancing solicitor in West London has informed me that he requires personal identification documents stating that this forms part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Am I being spun a yarn?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require West London conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the lender's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
