Finally the sale completed on my house in Hertford last September but our buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours complaining that his conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

The Hertford conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Hertford have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my previous Hertford lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society 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.

Am I compelled to take this when purchasing a house in Hertford? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Hertford?

Unless a prior purchase of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you can assume that solicitors delivering conveyancing in Hertford to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

I was advised by numerous property agents in Hertford to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
