The Leyburn conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Leyburn have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my previous Leyburn lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What are my options?
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. 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 Nationwide 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 should be in a position to help.
My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Leyburn. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these works are permitted?

We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Leyburn on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further charge for the legal aspects of the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by TSB but by your Leyburn lawyer. Numerous firms on the TSB panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Leyburn. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Leyburn concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
