If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in West Bromwich what would it be?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest West Bromwich conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am being advised by my lawyer that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in West Bromwich?

The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Should our solicitor be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in West Bromwich.

However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in West Bromwich. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. West Bromwich is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Bromwich 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.
