The Aberbargoed conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Aberbargoed have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my family Aberbargoed lawyer was not. I issued 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 let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 Kent Reliance 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 assist.

My offer on a detached house in Aberbargoed has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Aberbargoed. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Aberbargoed conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.

The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.

New build sellers have recommended to me a property lawyer and I've obtained a quote from them. It's nearly £250 cheaper than my own Aberbargoed lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they want exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the suggested solicitor is that they may prove unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Aberbargoed solicitor.
