The Bingley conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Bingley have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my previous Bingley lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. 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 Nationwide 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.

The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these specifications.
