Our lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Pwllheli. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

The Pwllheli conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Pwllheli have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the UBS conveyancing panel and my family Pwllheli lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors 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 UBS 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 help.
