The South Ockendon conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in South Ockendon have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family South Ockendon lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What do I do now?
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 Leeds Building Society 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 may be able to assist.

Is it correct that all South Ockendon CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in South Ockendon for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
