Me and my fiance are buying a ground floor flat in Morden Park. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Morden Park conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?
You have a couple of choices open to you here
- Carry on with your chosen Morden Park conveyancer but your bank will no doubt retain a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional fees and likely interruption.
- Get a new conveyancer to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to attempt to join the mortgage company panel

The Morden Park conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Morden Park have without warning closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my previous Morden Park lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?
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 the problems encountered. Hopefully they will 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 HSBC 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 may be able to help.
