My wife and I are soon to complete buying a property in East Boldon but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but UBS are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Your property lawyer being on a UBS approved list is required to inform UBS of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in East Boldon.
The East Boldon conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in East Boldon have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my previous East Boldon lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 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 can let the sellers know 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 Aldermore 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 may be able to help.
