Can your site be used to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Greenford even where I’m not purchasing or selling a house, for instance if I wish to buy an office in Greenford with a loan from Chelsea Building Society?

The Greenford conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Greenford have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Greenford lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately 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 should 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.
I was advised by numerous selling agents in Greenford to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over and above another?
We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Greenford
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Greenford conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.

My folks are experiencing problems in finding their Greenford land registry title on the site. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they bought the property there were complications with the post code not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all properties in Greenford should be revealed. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will identify all the premises within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s lender.
