The Blaina conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Blaina have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my family Blaina lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
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 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 Bank of Ireland 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 assist.

I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Blaina. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel firm.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Blaina has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Bank of Ireland or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. Bank of Ireland will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Blaina.
