The Bovey Tracey conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Bovey Tracey have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Bovey Tracey lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately 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 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 may be able to help.
How does conveyancing in Bovey Tracey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bovey Tracey come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Bovey Tracey usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bovey Tracey or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Bovey Tracey
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Bovey Tracey conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
