It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Gants Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Gants Hill relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The Gants Hill conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Gants Hill have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my preferred Gants Hill lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. 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 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 Aldermore 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 should be in a position to help.
