They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the HSBC conveyancing panel and my family Great Missenden lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance.

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.

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.
