The Plasmarl conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Plasmarl have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my previous Plasmarl lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them 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 Principality 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 should be in a position to help.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Plasmarl. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Plasmarl?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
