My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Arkley. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having legally bound yourself to purchase you will need to find a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property.

My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from UBS as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Arkley. Do we need to choose a local Arkley solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Arkley solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Should my conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Arkley.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Arkley. There are those who purchase a property in Arkley, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get 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 purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Arkley. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s solicitors will also order an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Arkley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Arkley come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Arkley tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Arkley or who has acted in the same development.
