It is estimated that nearly one in five of Sea Mills conveyancing deals are held up or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel.

The Sea Mills conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Sea Mills have without warning closed. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my family Sea Mills lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know 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 will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry 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 assist.

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Sea Mills for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sea Mills conveyancing specialists.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Sea Mills with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Sea Mills it reveals numerous solicitorsin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right property lawyer for the sale of my house?
