The Berwick Upon Tweed conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Berwick Upon Tweed have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family Berwick Upon Tweed lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What are my options?
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 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 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 lawyers should be in a position to assist.

The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Berwick Upon Tweed.

Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
