The Lutterworth conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Lutterworth have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my preferred Lutterworth lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away 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 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 lawyers may be able to help.

I have finally had an offer on a flat in Lutterworth agreed to, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Lutterworth. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Lutterworth conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Barclays approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
