The Yelverton conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Yelverton have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my previous Yelverton lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. 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 RBS 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 may be able to assist.

I have been advised by a couple of local estate agents in Yelverton to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site rather than a competitor’s?

We don’t offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
