Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know 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.

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.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Brentford

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Brentford conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
