The Aberbargoed conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Aberbargoed have without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Aberbargoed lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB 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 should be in a position to assist.

New build sellers have put forward a property lawyer and I've received a quote from them. They are nearly £250 less expensive than my family Aberbargoed property lawyer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they want exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancer is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Aberbargoed property lawyer.
