The Barmouth conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Barmouth have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Barmouth lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander 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.
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian property in Barmouth. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Barmouth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Barmouth I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about mytransaction before appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I am four weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Barmouth. I am am extremely disappointed with the level of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?
They would have to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new solicitor and ensure the loan are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating costs and delays. That should be your starting point.
