Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whitefield

Will lawyers request money up-front for conveyancing in Whitefield?

If you are buying a property in Whitefield your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search.

The Whitefield conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Whitefield have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my preferred Whitefield lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors 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 Barclays 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 may be able to assist.
