The Barlestone conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Barlestone have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my family Barlestone lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 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. 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 Lloyds 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 help.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Barlestone
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Barlestone conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
