The Fenton conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Fenton have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the conveyancing panel and my preferred Fenton lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would 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 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 flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Fenton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Fenton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Fenton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Fenton conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
