The Bilston conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Bilston have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my family Bilston lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 Virgin Money 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.

My offer was accepted on a property in Bilston on 6/6/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Our sealed bid on a house in Bilston has been agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Bilston. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Bilston conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the RBS approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with searches.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Bilston took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
