The Horfield conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Horfield have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family Horfield lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Leeds Building Society 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 assist.

My intention is to acquire a garden maisonette in Horfield. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the owner, building insurance documents. This morning I was advised that the owner must send the insurance paperwork for the flat above also. Why does my property lawyer need to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required?

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Horfield to discover Conveyancing in Horfield in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete block - which is definitely better. Do double check with your conveyancer but it would appear that your conveyancer is seeking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
