The Market Harborough conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Market Harborough have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the RBS conveyancing panel and my family Market Harborough lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 RBS 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.

How does conveyancing in Market Harborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Market Harborough contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Market Harborough usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Market Harborough or who has acted in the same development.
I have been recommended by a few selling agents in Market Harborough to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
