Finally the sale completed on my house in Broadstairs last May but the buyer keeps telephoning daily to moan that her lawyer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer.

The Broadstairs conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Broadstairs have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Broadstairs lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 Coventry BS 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 should be in a position to assist.

Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Broadstairs can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Many additions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Broadstairs. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Broadstairs conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
