The Bawtry conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bawtry have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Santander conveyancing panel and my family Bawtry lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. 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 solicitors may be able to help.

Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Bawtry will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
