I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Biddenham. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The Biddenham conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Biddenham have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Biddenham lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation 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 will need to 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 lawyers may be able to help.
Will my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Biddenham.

The purchaser’s conveyancers may also commission an enviro search. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
