I was advised yesterday by my mortgage adviser that my Oswaldtwistle property lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Oswaldtwistle lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

The Oswaldtwistle conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Oswaldtwistle have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my preferred Oswaldtwistle lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
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 the problems encountered. Hopefully they will 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 Yorkshire 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 lawyers should be in a position to help.
How does conveyancing in Oswaldtwistle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Oswaldtwistle contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Oswaldtwistle typically 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 property lawyers 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 Oswaldtwistle or who has acted in the same development.
