The solicitor who assisted with my former purchase has given a fee calculation of £1350 for fixed fee conveyancing in Bangor. I am selling a modern house for £125,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bangor?

The Bangor conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bangor have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the conveyancing panel and my preferred Bangor lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches.

If you have an estate agent involved 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the 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 should be in a position to assist.
