It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in West Bromwich. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in West Bromwich relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
The West Bromwich conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in West Bromwich have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous West Bromwich lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them 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 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 help.
