The Bournemouth conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Bournemouth have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my preferred Bournemouth lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved 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 Nationwide 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.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bournemouth ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bournemouth. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a garden flat in Bournemouth I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehome move ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Bournemouth.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Bournemouth should be the figure that you end up paying.

Would local authority consent be required to change a single dwelling into two flats in Bournemouth? This has occurred to a house opposite to my house in Bournemouth and was not aware of it happening until it was finished.

Planning Consent yes. Building Regulations yes.
