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.

You can appoint a lawyer now and ask them to open a file on your behalf. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not instruct your property lawyer to start searches until you have your valuation report via Bank of Scotland and you are content to proceed.
