My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Tilbury and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

The conveyancer is duty bound to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

The Tilbury conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Tilbury have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my family Tilbury lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire 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 solicitors may be able to assist.
