Should conveyancers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Nafferton?

If you are buying a property in Nafferton your lawyer will request that you place them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this should be needed shortly in advance of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed will be payable a few days prior to the completion date.

The Nafferton conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Nafferton have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Nafferton lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry BS 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.
