The Clayhall conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Clayhall have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my previous Clayhall lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Kent Reliance 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 may be able to assist.

However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease.

If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
