I can't travel far from Gorleston. Can you please clarify why all Gorleston solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for banks to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s viewpoint, the other side of the coin is that lenders are increasingly anxious and feel it vital to shield themselves from illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

Should our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Gorleston.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Gorleston. There are those who acquire a house in Gorleston, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Gorleston. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to discover whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an enviro report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Gorleston is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Gorleston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gorleston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gorleston may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
