It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Potters Bar. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers.

The Potters Bar conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Potters Bar have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Potters Bar lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Lloyds 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.
