Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Rush Green conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

The Rush Green conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Rush Green have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my previous Rush Green lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation 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. 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 Yorkshire BS 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 assist.

We had selected solicitors with offices in Rush Green on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Rush Green conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Virgin Money panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
