The West Thurrock conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in West Thurrock have without warning closed. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my family West Thurrock lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know 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 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 should be in a position to help.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred West Thurrock conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
