We went with a local firm for my conveyancing in Gwynedd today. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I seewe are liable for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or choose an on-line conveyancing company advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Gwynedd?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such promotions rarely protect you from expenses for example Gwynedd conveyancing search costs.
Will my conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Gwynedd.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Gwynedd. There are those who acquire a property in Gwynedd, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Gwynedd. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s solicitors will also commission an enviro report. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
