Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Kidwelly is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Kidwelly conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authoritative source.

Will my conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Kidwelly.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Kidwelly. There are those who purchase a house in Kidwelly, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if 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 during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Kidwelly. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be carried out.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kidwelly is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Kidwelly are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kidwelly you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kidwelly may decide 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.
