The Lansbury conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Lansbury have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Santander conveyancing panel and my preferred Lansbury lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What are my options?
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. 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 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 solicitors may be able to help.
I am expecting a OIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Lansbury solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Lansbury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
I have instructed a Lansbury lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Lansbury surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My offer on a house in Lansbury has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Lansbury. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Lansbury conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Lloyds approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Lansbury.
What does commercial conveyancing in Lansbury cover?
Lansbury conveyancing for business premises covers a broad range of guidance, provided by regulated solicitors, relating to business property.

Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Swansea but I am based in Lansbury. My lawyer (who is 200 miles from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Lansbury who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Lansbury
