My conveyancer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Cleobury Mortimer. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution.

The Cleobury Mortimer conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Cleobury Mortimer have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my previous Cleobury Mortimer lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them 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. You will need to 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 solicitors may be able to assist.

I am buying my first flat in Cleobury Mortimer with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.
