The Wennington conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Wennington have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Wennington lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 TSB 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 should be in a position to help.

When it comes to conveyancing in Wennington obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wennington. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
The deeds to my home are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Wennington 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be found, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
