I chose a Falconwood based lawyer for my conveyancing in Falconwood last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Should I go with them or select an internet firm promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Falconwood?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover the transactions that abort. Also remember that these schemes generally do not protect you from expenditure such as Falconwood conveyancing search fees.

I am hoping to move into my new home in Falconwood next Monday. My solicitor now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

The Falconwood conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Falconwood have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my preferred Falconwood lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 Virgin Money 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.
