Completed the sale of my flat in Sneyd Green last December but the buyer keeps telephoning every few hours to moan that his conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
After completion of your house sale your solicitor is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor must also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Sneyd Green.
The Sneyd Green conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Sneyd Green have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my previous Sneyd Green lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away 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 Barclays 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 help.
Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Sneyd Green. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Sneyd Green and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Sneyd Green conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sneyd Green. We have lived in Sneyd Green for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Am I right to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Sneyd Green conveyancing practice?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward lawyers to use. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that some lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
