The Winton conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Winton have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my preferred Winton lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would 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 lawyers should be in a position to help.

As far as conveyancing in Winton registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
