If you have an estate agent involved then let them know 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 Skipton 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 solicitors should be in a position to help.

Should one remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a house in Ladbroke Grove?
If a Ladbroke Grove property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to amend the title as when it comes to a sale your conveyancer would just be required to supply proof as to the reason the other owner is not included in the conveyance, ordinarily this is in the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you may arrange to have the deceased party removed from the title by submitting an application to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
