The Hyde Park conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Hyde Park have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Hyde Park lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB 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 help.

My sealed bid on a property in Hyde Park has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Hyde Park. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Hyde Park conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with searches.

We are in the process of acquiring a home in Hyde Park. Conveyancing is not complete but we wish to have our purchase price confidential from sites such as Rightmove. How do I ensure this is not noted?
HM Land Registry are legally required to specify price sold information on the official title for residential properties nationwide including homes in Hyde Park. The register of title is an open document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not permit access to the register.
You can make a request of the Land Registry to hide the amount paid data but the response will be in the negative.
