I am acquiring a maisonette in Alfreton. My lawyer has never been on on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to retain my Alfreton conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?

You must instruct a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you require a mortgage to purchase your property. They will carry out all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One may appoint a Alfreton property lawyer of your choice. However, if the conveyancer selected is not on the bank solicitor panel further costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

Will our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Alfreton.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Alfreton. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Alfreton, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Alfreton. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.

We have instructed a Alfreton conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not overseen by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that the norm with conveyancer?

We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the SRA, who dictate stringent conditions covering monies held in their bank.
