The Eaton Bray conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Eaton Bray have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my family Eaton Bray lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. 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 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 should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham 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.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Eaton Bray 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Eaton Bray , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?
You can accept a lower deposit. Many sellers will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
