The North Cornelly conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in North Cornelly have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my preferred North Cornelly lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander 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.
I am helping my sister sell her house in North Cornelly. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?

Where you are using a North Cornelly conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local accredited person

Intending to buy a apartment in North Cornelly. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the North Cornelly conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
