The Thame conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Thame have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Thame lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Nottingham 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.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Thame. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?

Having legally committed yourself to purchase you should appoint a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you will have a pending a drop dead date to complete the purchase. All auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible.

I am expecting a AIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Thame solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Thame solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Thame off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Thame it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Thame commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site.
