The St Bees conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in St Bees have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred St Bees lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 RBS 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.

2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in St Bees took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Given that I am about to spend £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in St Bees I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehouse move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in St Bees.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in St Bees should be the figure that you are charged.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in St Bees

It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted St Bees conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
