The Sowerby Bridge conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Sowerby Bridge have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my previous Sowerby Bridge 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 straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control.

You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore 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.
