The Rottingdean conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my house acquisition in Rottingdean have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Rottingdean lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 solicitors should be in a position to assist.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Rottingdean prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not issue a loan on a flying freehold property.
