I am buying a house for cash in Tufnell Park. I have resided for the last dozen years in Tufnell Park. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Tufnell Park conveyancing searches are at your discretion.

The Tufnell Park conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Tufnell Park have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my previous Tufnell Park lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What should be my next steps?
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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Lloyds 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.
