The Glenfield conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Glenfield have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Glenfield lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation 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. Most sellers would 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 Lloyds 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 assist.

Will my conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Glenfield.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Glenfield. Some people will buy a house in Glenfield, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Glenfield. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
