The Trowbridge conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Trowbridge have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and my previous Trowbridge lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 Co-operative 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 assist.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Trowbridge. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Trowbridge?

It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Trowbridge on 6/9/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

You can instruct a conveyancer now and ask them to generate a file for you. This will enable: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to submit the draft paperwork. However, do not instruct your solicitor to start searches until you have your valuation report via Leeds Building Society and you are content to proceed.
