The Crawley Down conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Crawley Down have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the UBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Crawley Down lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 UBS 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 should be in a position to help.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Crawley Down conveyancing lawyers were appointed. How long does it take for Co-operative to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

It is usual to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Crawley Down conveyancing search charges, etc).
