The Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Barlaston and Tittensor have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel and my family Barlaston and Tittensor lawyer was not. I paid them £170 on account. 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. Hopefully they will 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 RBS 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 assist.
Will our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor. Some people will acquire a property in Barlaston and Tittensor, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Barlaston and Tittensor. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to find out if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors may also order an enviro search. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
