I plan on acquiring a flat in Downham. My property lawyer is not on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Downham conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One must have a property lawyer to complete the formalities if you require a loan to buy your home. They will conduct all the appropriate due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may select a Downham property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the mortgage company approved list further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

The Downham conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Downham have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my preferred Downham lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society 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.
