The North Somerset conveyancing firm handling our North Somerset conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?

Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers.

The North Somerset conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in North Somerset have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my family North Somerset lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?

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 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 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 solicitors may be able to help.
