I am about to complete on the purchase of a house in Bradford On Avon but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Your conveyancing practitioner that is on a Kent Reliance approved list is obliged to inform Kent Reliance of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bradford On Avon.

The Bradford On Avon conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bradford On Avon have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my family Bradford On Avon lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. 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 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 Lloyds 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 help.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bradford On Avon is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
