The Tring conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Tring have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my previous Tring lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality 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 may be able to help.
My partner and I are selling our home in Tring and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Tring lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tring. Having lived in Tring for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Tring differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tring contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Tring tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Tring or who has acted in the same development.
Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Tring I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehouse move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Tring.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Tring should be the figure that you are charged.
I recently become aware that one of the directors of the firm handling the purchase conveyancing in Tring is an uncle of the vendor. Is this allowed?
As long as there is no conflict of interest this is allowable. Where you are needing mortgage finance then the bank may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions concerning this. For example for RBS- First Active as of 19/5/2025, the requirements read as follows :
