Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a house in East and West Horsley but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Co-operative will not permit this. Why were they informed?
Your solicitor that is on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is required to inform Co-operative of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in East and West Horsley.
The East and West Horsley conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in East and West Horsley have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family East and West Horsley lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Principality 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.
