My husband and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Alrewas. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Can I still retain my Alrewas conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender approved list?
Various options include
- Proceed with your chosen Alrewas lawyer but your mortgage company will no doubt appoint a property lawyer on their approved panel. The net result is additional charges and potential delay.
- Choose a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to get listed on the bank’s conveyancing panel

Will my lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Alrewas.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Alrewas. Some people will acquire a property in Alrewas, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Alrewas. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental search. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Alrewas I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Alrewas for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Taking into account that I will soon part with 450k on a garden flat in Alrewas I would like to talk to a solicitor concerning thetransaction before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
