Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Caister On Sea who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Britannia. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?

The Caister On Sea conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Caister On Sea have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my preferred Caister On Sea lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them 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 Clydesdale 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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Caister On Sea
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Caister On Sea conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
