The Holsworthy conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Holsworthy have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my preferred Holsworthy lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
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 the problems encountered. 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 Santander 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 help.

My intention is to acquire a ground floor flat in Holsworthy. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the owner, building insurance schedule.

Is it really necessary? We have been in hold for the last 3 weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Holsworthy to discover Conveyancing in Holsworthy in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole block - which is clearly better.

Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reconstructed due to lack of insurance cover.
